Ingredients

  • 8 cremini mushrooms big, also called baby bella or baby portobello
  • 1 shallot minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 2 teaspoons parsley fresh, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 3/4 cup milk 2%
  • 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese grated
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 3/4 cup whole-wheat breadcrumbs

Instructions

  • Clean mushrooms with a brush or slightly wet kitchen towel to take away the dirt. Cut and discard the end part (where the roots are)of the stem. Rinse under the faucet quickly then pat dry with a kitchen paper towel.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Pull out the stems of the mushrooms then rub some salt in the internal part of the mushrooms. Mince the stems then set aside.
  • Over medium heat, in a small saucepan with about 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, sautè the garlic then add the minced mushroom stems and shallot. Keeping the heat low, cover and cook for about 6 minutes.
  • When all of the water evaporates from the minced mushroom stems, add a teaspoon of parsley. Turn off the fire then cover to keep it warm.
  • Over low heat, in another small saucepan, add 1 tablespoon olive oil, then add the flour gradually while whisking continuously for about 2 to 3 minutes until a golden paste has formed. Pour the milk slowly while whisking. Cook for about 5 minutes whisking continuously until a thick sauce (Bechamel sauce) is created.
  • Season with the nutmeg, salt, and Parmesan. Turn off the fire then let it cool down to room temperature.
  • When it has already cooled down, add the egg yolk and the sautèed mushroom stems.
  • Fill up all the mushrooms with the sauce then sprinkle the top with the breadcrumbs.
  • Place the stuffed mushrooms on a baking pan lined with parchment paper then bake for 20 minutes.
  • Garnish with the remaining parsley before serving.
