  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large crown mushrooms or Portobello caps
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small shallot, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 cup vegan breadcrumb mixture
  • 2 tablespoons dairy-free vegan butter
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional: chili flakes or paprika for garnish

Instructions

  1. Gently clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth and remove the stems, setting them aside for stuffing.
  2. Use a small spoon to hollow out the centers of the mushroom caps, creating space for the filling.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the minced garlic and shallot until fragrant and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Transfer the garlic and shallot to a bowl. Mix in chopped mushroom stems, parsley, vegan breadcrumbs, vegan butter, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  5. Fill each mushroom cap with the stuffing, pressing lightly to secure.
  6. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes until tops are golden and mushrooms are tender. Garnish with chili flakes or paprika if desired.

Notes

  • Ensure mushrooms are dry before stuffing to prevent sogginess.
  • Use high-quality vegan breadcrumbs for best texture.
  • For a more decadent flavor, add a splash of vegan white wine to the stuffing.
  • Garnish with edible gold flakes for an ultra-glamorous presentation.
