I promise that if you make these stuffed mushrooms, you will flip for them. They are creamy in the middle and decadently crunchy on top, well-flavored with savory shards of Parmesan, garlic and Italian herbs.
This recipe includes a couple handy shortcuts — as long as you’re using wholesome foods, I think it is more than okay to simplify your cooking once in a while! My first convenience-minded move was to pulverize a slice of whole wheat sourdough bread for instant breadcrumbs. Secondly, I used Garlic Gold® Italian Herb Nuggets. When you add a tablespoon of them to these stuffed mushrooms, they add so much flavor that no other spices are required!
Make batches of these to serve as appetizers at your holiday parties, or eat a bunch of them for dinner with a salad on the side.
