I love mushrooms, and wanted to try a new recipe that would use them as a side dish, rather than always cooking them in things. I found a recipe for baked mushrooms here that gave me an idea for baking temperatues and times, but I changed the rest of the recipe pretty drastically. My whole family loved these, even my 2 year old daughter who doesn't typically love mushrooms! The outside coating is light and crispy after baking, and holds a delicious mushroom inside! This is a great side to accompany an Italian dish, an appetizer, or a snack!
Baked Breaded Mushrooms
8 ounces mushrooms, stalks removed (they easily pull off)
1/2 cup plain bread crumbs
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1-2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
2. Combine the bread crumbs, cheese, and seasoning on a small plate.
3. Dip the mushrooms in the egg, then roll them in the bread crumb mixture, trying to evenly cover.
4. Place them on a baking sheet, and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they are beginning to brown.
Enjoy!
I want to pair this tasty dish with mushroom pasta! I think the taste of the two dishes would blend together deliciously. I think it would be great to prepare for dinner with your whole family. My son who doesn’t usually eat mushrooms would probably love it too, just like your daughter!
