Ingredients
  

  • 12 large fresh mushrooms Stems removed
  • 1 can minced clams 6 oz can, drained well
  • ½ cup Italian breadcrumbs Binds the filling together
  • 1 large egg Beaten, for moisture
  • 1 green onion Finely chopped
  • 2 teaspoon minced garlic Aromatic base
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano Savory herb note
  • 3 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese For the filling
  • 4 tablespoon butter Melted, divided use
  • ¼ cup mozzarella cheese Finely grated, for topping

Equipment

  • 1 baking dish Large enough to hold the caps
  • 1 Mixing bowl For the clam filling
  • 1 Paper towels For cleaning the mushrooms

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and coat a baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Remove the stems from the mushrooms and wipe the caps clean using a dry paper towel to remove any loose dirt without adding moisture.
  3. Stir the drained clams, green onion, beaten egg, garlic, breadcrumbs, oregano, Parmesan, and 1 tablespoon of melted butter in a bowl until a thick, cohesive paste forms.
  4. Spoon the filling into each mushroom cavity, packing it tightly so the mixture forms a rounded mound on top of every cap.
  5. Place the stuffed mushrooms in the dish, drizzle the remaining 3 tablespoons of melted butter over them, and cover tightly with aluminum foil to trap the steam.
  6. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes until the mushrooms soften and release their natural juices, darkening in color.
  7. Remove the foil, sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over the tops, and bake uncovered for 3 minutes until the cheese forms a glossy, melted crown.

Notes

Wipe the mushrooms clean with a dry paper towel instead of rinsing them under water; this prevents the caps from acting like sponges and becoming soggy in the oven.
