4 large Portobello mushrooms
1 / 2 cup (60 g) breadcrumbs
1 / 4 cup (25 g) grated Parmesan cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp (30 ml) fresh basil, chopped
2 tbsp (30 ml) olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. **Prepare the Mushrooms:** Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel and remove the stems. Use a spoon to remove the gills if preferred.
2. **Make the Stuffing:** In a medium bowl, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped basil, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix until the ingredients are well combined.
3. **Stuff the Mushrooms:** Place the mushrooms on a baking sheet, gill-side up. Evenly distribute the stuffing mixture into the cavities of the mushrooms, packing it down gently.
4. **Bake the Mushrooms:** Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the tops are golden brown.
5. **Serve:** Remove the mushrooms from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these savory stuffed Portobello mushrooms as a delightful side dish or a vegetarian main course.
