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

  • 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 prepare it for the stuffed mushrooms.
  2. Prepare Mushrooms: Gently wash the mushrooms and carefully remove the stems. Pat the caps dry with a paper towel. Reserve the stems for use in another recipe or discard.
  3. Make Filling: In a bowl, combine the minced clams, finely minced green onion, minced garlic, garlic salt, melted and cooled butter, and oregano. Add the Italian-style breadcrumbs, beaten egg, and the reserved clam juice. Mix thoroughly until well combined. Finally, stir in the Parmesan, Romano, and 2 tablespoons of Mozzarella cheese until evenly incorporated.
  4. Stuff Mushrooms: Using a teaspoon, fill each mushroom cap with about 1 1/2 teaspoons of the clam mixture, slightly mounding the filling on top.
  5. Arrange and Bake: Place the stuffed mushrooms in the prepared baking dish, drizzle with 1/4 cup of melted butter to add richness. Cover the dish with foil or a lid and bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes to cook through and meld the flavors.
  6. Add Cheese Topping: Remove the cover from the baking dish, sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup grated Mozzarella cheese evenly over the mushrooms. Return to the oven for a few minutes until the cheese melts and becomes bubbly.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Remove the stuffed mushrooms from the oven, garnish with freshly diced parsley, and serve warm. Provide fresh lemon wedges on the side to add a bright, tangy finish to each bite.

Notes

  • Use large mushrooms for easier stuffing and a better presentation.
  • Make sure to drain clams well to avoid excess moisture in the filling.
  • Reserve mushroom stems for soups or sauces to reduce waste.
  • For a spicier version, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the filling mixture.
  • Serve immediately after baking for the best flavor and texture.
  • These stuffed mushrooms can be prepared a few hours ahead and baked just before serving.
