Classic Stuffed Mushrooms Recipe

You can use either cremini or regular button mushrooms. The recipe can easily be scaled up—doubled or tripled. Scrub the mushrooms well first, then just snap out the stems. They'll come out easily, no need to use a knife.

For parties, make the stuffing and have the mushrooms cleaned and stems removed ahead of time. But don't cook them until you want to serve: Once cooked, stuffed mushrooms do not hold up well for long periods. Bake some, serve and repeat.

Ingredients

• 18-24 button or cremini mushrooms, scrubbed clean, stems separated from the caps, stems finely chopped
• 1 Tbsp butter
• 2 small shallots, minced, about 2 Tbsp
• 1 large garlic clove, minced

• Salt
• 2 Tbsp chopped parsley
• 1 teaspoon herbes de Provence or dried thyme
