Number Of Ingredients 15

-12 fresh mushrooms
1 (6 ounce) can clams (drained and finely minced, save 1/4 cup of clam juice for stuffing)
1 green onion, finely minced
1 egg (beaten)
1⁄2 teaspoon minced garlic
1⁄8 teaspoon garlic salt
1⁄2 cup Italian style breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon oregano leaves
1 tablespoon melted butter, cooled
2 tablespoons finely grated parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon finely grated romano cheese
2 tablespoons finely grated mozzarella cheese (for stuffing)
1⁄4 cup finely grated mozzarella cheese (for garnish)
1⁄4 cup melted butter
fresh parsley (for garnish)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly oil a small baking dish. Gently wash and stem mushrooms; pat dry (Save stems for another recipe). Combine clams, onions, garlic salt, minced garlic, butter and oregano in a bowl and mix well. Add Italian bread crumbs, egg, clam juice, mixing well. Add Parmesan, Romano, and Mozzarella cheeses to the clam stuffing and mix well. Place approximately 1 1/2 teaspoons of the clam stuffing mixture inside mushroom cavity and slightly mound (You should be able to stuff between 8- 12 mushrooms depending on the size of mushrooms). Place the stuffed mushrooms in slightly oiled baking dish and pour 1/4 cup melted butter over the top of the mushrooms. Cover and place in oven for about 35- 40 minutes. Remove cover; sprinkle the 1/4 cup freshly grated mozzarella cheese on top and pop back in oven just so the cheese melts slightly. Garnish with freshly diced parsley. Serve hot.
