Ingredients
Scale
- 12 to 14 large mushrooms
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 4 tablespoons minced green or red bell pepper (or a mixture of both)
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 4 strips bacon, cooked but not crisp (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 can (6.5 ounces) minced clams (drained)
- 1/2 cup fine dry bread crumbs (plain or garlic and herb)
- 1 large egg (beaten)
- 2 to 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a jelly roll pan or baking pan with foil and place a cooling rack in the pan.
- Rinse mushrooms and pat dry. Carefully remove the stems, then chop the stems finely and set aside.
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Brush each mushroom cap lightly with a bit of melted butter and arrange them, rounded side down, on the rack.
- Add the chopped mushroom stems, onion, and bell pepper to the remaining butter in the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is tender and translucent.
- Stir in the parsley, chopped bacon, lemon juice, drained clams, and bread crumbs. Blend well and remove from heat.
- In a separate bowl, lightly beat the egg. Once the stuffing mixture has cooled slightly, add it to the egg and stir until well combined.
- Spoon the stuffing mixture into each mushroom cap, mounding it slightly. Sprinkle the tops with grated Parmesan cheese.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the tops are nicely browned.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
