Personally I like stuffing the much larger portabella mushrooms. The flavor is incredible and 1 large mushroom can make an entire meal for one person.
Ingredients
- 20 crimini mushrooms, washed and stems removed
Topping:
- 1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Filling:
- 2 cups fresh basil leaves
- 1/4 cup fresh Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh garlic
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Directions
1. Heat the oven to 350 F. Line the mushroom caps upside down on a baking sheet.
2. Prepare the topping, in a small bowl, combine the panko, butter, and parsley; set aside.
3. Prepare the filling, place the basil, cheese, pumpkin seeds, oil, garlic, lemon juice and salt in a food processor. Process until evenly mixed.
4. Generously stuff the mushroom caps with the basil pesto filling. Sprinkle each mushroom with about 1 teaspoon of panko topping. Gently pat down the topping. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.
