This weekend, one of my close friends had a Halloween party and I made a lot of food for it but my absolute favorite was the stuffed mushrooms! They’re in my top five favorite fall foods.

I started by preheating my oven to 350°, I then began soaking the mushrooms in a bowl of warm water and salt to clean them. I then removed the stems from all the mushrooms and set those aside. I scooped the insides of the mushroom caps out and then set those aside as well. After that, I chopped up the stems on a cutting board into very small pieces, I then melted a tablespoon of butter in a pan and sauteed the chopped stems until they were brown. After sauteing the stems I finely chopped two garlic cloves, I then mixed those two ingredients in a bowl with the olive oil, breadcrumbs, and parsley. Lastly, I grated the Parmesan cheese and mixed that in as well. The mushroom caps then got dipped in a tablespoon of melted butter, placed on a pan and filled with the stuffing.

I baked these for ten minutes and they turned out great! They’re a great dish for a party because they are bite-sized and the recipe has a large yield.

RECIPE:

30-40 small mushrooms

¼ cup olive oil

2 tablespoons of butter

1 cup of breadcrumbs

¾ grated parmesan cheese

1 tablespoon parsley
