Olive Garden Stuffed Mushrooms
Description
This recipe cleans mushrooms and removes the stems, which can be saved for other uses. The clam-based stuffing combines minced clams with green onion, garlic, garlic salt, oregano, beaten egg, Italian breadcrumbs, and reserved clam juice to bind the mixture. The stuffing is mixed thoroughly with Parmesan, Romano, and mozzarella cheeses for a layered savory flavor and creamy texture.
The mushrooms are filled generously with this clam mixture, placed in a lightly oiled baking dish, and drizzled with melted butter before baking at 350°F for 35-40 minutes. Afterward, a sprinkle of fresh mozzarella is added and warmed until just melted, providing a glossy, cheesy surface. Fresh parsley can be added for garnish before serving.
This dish works well as an appetizer or a side, presenting a combination of tender mushrooms and rich cheesy clam filling that melds Italian flavors with seafood elements.
Ingredients
- 9 ounces mushrooms
- 6 ounces clams drained
- 1 tablespoon green onion chopped fine
- 1 egg beaten
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic minced
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1/2 cup Italian breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon oregano leaves
- 1 tablespoon butter melted and cooled
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese finely grated
- 1 tablespoon Romano cheese finely grated
- 2 tablespoons mozzarella cheese finely grated for stuffing
- 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese finely grated for garnish
- 1/4 cup butter melted
Instructions
- Wash the mushrooms, remove the stems, and pat dry. Save the stems for another recipe. Drain the clams and reserve the liquid.
- In a mixing bowl, mix together clams, green onion, minced garlic, garlic salt, 1 tablespoon soft butter, and oregano. Add egg, breadcrumbs, and clam juice and mix everything together. Stir the cheeses into the clam stuffing until well blended.
- Place the clam mixture in each mushroom cavity and make it into a small mound. You should be able to stuff between 8 and 12 mushrooms depending on the size of the mushrooms. Place the mushrooms in a lightly-oiled baking dish. Pour 1/4 cup melted butter over the mushrooms.
- Cover and place in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for about 35 - 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle the mushrooms with freshly grated mozzarella cheese. Pop them back in the oven until the cheese is just slightly melted.
- Garnish with freshly diced parsley.
