Ingredients
  

  • 9 ounces mushrooms (preferably large, for stuffing)
  • 6 ounces clams (drained)
  • 1 tablespoon green onion (chopped fine)
  • 1 large egg (beaten)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic (minced)
  • 1/8 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1/2 cup Italian breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon oregano leaves
  • 1 tablespoon butter (melted and cooled)
  • 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (finely grated)
  • 1 tablespoon Romano cheese (finely grated)
  • 2 tablespoons mozzarella cheese (finely grated, for stuffing)
  • 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese (finely grated, for garnish)
  • 1/4 cup butter (melted)

Equipment

  • Baking dish
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Spoon
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Start by cleaning the mushrooms. Gently wipe them with a damp cloth to remove any dirt. Carefully remove the stems and set them aside. You’ll need the caps for stuffing.
  2. Chop the mushroom stems finely and add them to a mixing bowl. To this, add the drained clams, chopped green onion, beaten egg, minced garlic, garlic salt, Italian breadcrumbs, oregano leaves, melted butter, Parmesan cheese, Romano cheese, and mozzarella cheese for stuffing. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined.
  3. Take the mushroom caps and fill each one generously with the clam and cheese mixture. Be sure to pack them tightly for maximum flavor.
  4. Place the stuffed mushrooms in a baking dish. Drizzle the remaining melted butter on top of the mushrooms. Sprinkle the additional mozzarella cheese over the stuffed caps for that gooey, cheesy finish. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the tops are golden brown.
  5. Once they’re done baking, remove the stuffed mushrooms from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve them warm as a delightful appetizer or a side dish.

Notes

  • Allow the stuffed mushrooms to cool completely before transferring them to an airtight container.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • To reheat, place them in the oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes.
  • You can freeze the stuffed mushrooms before baking for later use.
  • Don’t skip the cheese topping for that delicious baked finish!
