What Kinds of Mushrooms are Best for Stuffing?
When making appetizer-sized stuffed mushrooms, large white button mushrooms or cremini mushrooms are most commonly used. If you want larger stuffed mushrooms, you can use portobello mushrooms.
When buying mushrooms, look for ones that are firm and plump because this indicates freshness.
Mushrooms need to be cleaned thoroughly before stuffing. A soft brush or a dishcloth can be used to remove dirt from the mushroom cap. Once cleaned, mushrooms should be given a rinse under cold water and allowed to dry before being stuffed.
- Fresh mushrooms may be stored in a plastic bag for 3 to 4 days in your refrigerator.
- Purchase mushrooms without any blemishes because they will last longer if you aren’t going to cook with them the first day.
How to Make Olive Garden Stuffed Mushrooms
- Wash the mushrooms, remove the stems, and pat dry. Save the stems for another recipe.
- Drain the clams and reserve the liquid.
- In a mixing bowl, stir together the clams, green onion, minced garlic, garlic, salt, butter, and oregano.
- Add egg, breadcrumbs, and clam juice and mix everything together.
- Add the cheeses into the clam stuffing and stir until well blended.
- Place the clam mixture in each mushroom cavity and make it into a small mound.
- Place the mushrooms in a lightly oiled baking dish and pour melted butter over the mushrooms.
- Cover and bake at 350 degrees for about 35 minutes.
- Remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle the mushrooms with freshly grated mozzarella cheese. Place the dish back in the oven until the cheese is slightly melted.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
