Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Mushrooms

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Clean mushrooms by gently wiping with a damp towel and removing stems and gills with a spoon.
Brush both sides with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
Place them gill-side up on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 2: Make the Cheese Filling
5. In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta, Parmesan, egg, dried basil, salt, and pepper.
6. Mix until smooth and well blended.

Step 3: Pre-Roast the Mushrooms
7. Roast the mushrooms in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes to release excess moisture.
8. Remove from oven and gently blot with a paper towel if needed.

Step 4: Assemble the Stuffed Mushrooms
9. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of marinara sauce into each mushroom cap.
10. Add a generous scoop of the ricotta cheese mixture on top.
11. Spoon more marinara over the cheese layer.
12. Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese.

Step 5: Bake to Perfection
13. Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.
14. For a crispy top, broil for the last 1–2 minutes.

Step 6: Garnish and Serve
15. Sprinkle with fresh parsley or basil before serving.
16. Serve warm with a side salad, garlic bread, or roasted veggies.

Notes

Pre-Roast the Mushrooms – Helps avoid sogginess by removing excess water.
Season Every Layer – A little seasoning in each layer brings out big flavor.
Use a Thick Marinara – Watery sauces can make the dish too runny.
Customize the Filling – Add cooked meat or extra veggies to bulk it up.
Top with Extra Cheese – Because more cheese never hurts!
