Ingredients
Scale
Mushroom Filling
- 2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1.5 pounds white mushrooms, cleaned and quartered
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 6 ounces cream cheese, cubed
- ½ cup freshly grated mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup bread crumbs
- ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Topping
- 3 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 ½ tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup bread crumbs
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the casserole.
- Sauté Mushrooms: Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the quartered mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and sauté until softened and most of the liquid evaporates, approximately 7 to 9 minutes.
- Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook it for about 1 minute until aromatic, being careful not to burn it.
- Melt Cream Cheese: Add the cubed cream cheese to the skillet and mix thoroughly ensuring the mushrooms are well coated and the cheese begins to melt.
- Combine Cheeses and Bread Crumbs: Remove from heat. Stir in mozzarella cheese, ½ cup bread crumbs, and ¼ cup Parmesan cheese into the mushroom mixture evenly.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Transfer the mushroom mixture into a greased 8×8-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Make Topping: In a small bowl, combine chopped parsley, melted butter, remaining Parmesan cheese, and remaining bread crumbs. Mix well and sprinkle evenly over the mushroom filling.
- Bake: Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the topping turns a golden brown color.
Notes
- Use fresh mushrooms for the best texture and flavor.
- Ensure to sauté mushrooms until liquid evaporates for a less soggy casserole.
- Can be served as a side dish or a vegetarian main course.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute bread crumbs with gluten-free bread crumbs.
- Let the casserole cool slightly before serving to allow it to set.
