Tips:

• Use either white or baby bella mushrooms.

• You will most likely have stuffing mixture leftover. Safe for more mushrooms or add to an omlette!

• I use panko breadcrumbs but regular breadcrumbs work just as well. You won't need to use nearly as much and if your breadcrumbs are seasoned, you can omit the italian seasoning.

• Get creative! Add spinach, cooked sausage, or even minced walnuts! Sprinkle cooked mushrooms with a little chopped parsley for a pretty presentation.
