Ingredients

Scale

Mushrooms

  • 8 to 12 large mushrooms

Filling

  • 1 (6 ounce) can of minced clams, drained with 1/4 cup clam juice reserved
  • 1 finely minced green onion
  • 1 beaten egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1/8 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1/2 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 tablespoon melted and cooled butter
  • 2 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon finely grated Romano cheese
  • 2 tablespoons finely grated Mozzarella cheese (for stuffing)

Garnish and Topping

  • 1/4 cup finely grated Mozzarella cheese (for garnish)
  • 1/4 cup melted butter (for garnish)
  • Freshly diced parsley for garnish
  • Fresh lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly oil a small baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
  2. Prepare Mushrooms: Gently wash the mushrooms and remove the stems. Pat them dry carefully to avoid sogginess. Reserve the stems for another use as they are not included in the stuffing.
  3. Make Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the drained minced clams, finely minced green onion, minced garlic, garlic salt, melted butter, and oregano. Add the Italian-style breadcrumbs, beaten egg, and reserved clam juice; mix thoroughly for a cohesive filling. Stir in the Parmesan, Romano, and Mozzarella cheeses until well incorporated.
  4. Stuff Mushrooms: Spoon about 1 1/2 teaspoons of the clam mixture into each mushroom cap, mounding it slightly to create a generous filling.
  5. Arrange and Bake: Place the stuffed mushrooms in the oiled baking dish. Drizzle with 1/4 cup melted butter over the top. Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is cooked through.
  6. Add Cheese Topping: Remove the foil cover, sprinkle the remaining finely grated Mozzarella cheese evenly over the mushrooms, and return them to the oven briefly until the cheese melts and turns slightly golden.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Garnish the stuffed mushrooms with freshly diced parsley for color and freshness. Serve warm, accompanied by fresh lemon wedges to squeeze over the top for a bright, tangy finish.

Notes

  • Use fresh, firm mushrooms for best texture and taste.
  • Do not discard mushroom stems; save them for soups or sauces.
  • If you prefer, substitute Parmesan or Romano cheese with other hard cheeses.
  • Ensure mushrooms are patted dry to avoid watery stuffing.
  • To make ahead, prepare stuffing and fill mushrooms in advance; refrigerate before baking.
  • For a slightly crispier top, broil the mushrooms for 1-2 minutes instead of baking after adding the cheese topping.
