Ingredients

16 even-sized open cup mushrooms, stalks trimmed level
3 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
2 garlic cloves, finely minced
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons fresh thyme, finely chopped
½ teaspoon garlic powder
5 tablespoons fresh breadcrumbs
1½ tablespoons lemon juice
Salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the mushrooms cap-side down and lightly fry for 2–3 minutes.
Transfer the mushrooms to a 9×13-inch baking dish with the stalk side facing upward.
In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, thyme, garlic powder, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Spoon a small amount of the garlic-thyme butter mixture into each mushroom cap.
Sprinkle and gently press the fresh breadcrumbs on top of each mushroom.
Bake immediately, or cover and refrigerate until ready to cook.
Bake for 15 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the breadcrumb topping is golden brown.
Serve warm as an appetizer or side dish.

Notes

Choose mushrooms that are similar in size for even cooking.
Cremini or button mushrooms work best for this recipe.
For extra crunch, use panko breadcrumbs instead of fresh breadcrumbs.
Add grated Parmesan cheese to the breadcrumb topping for additional flavor.
These mushrooms can be assembled several hours ahead and refrigerated until baking.
Garnish with extra fresh thyme before serving.
