Olive Garden Stuffed Mushrooms

Olive Garden Stuffed Mushrooms recipe - These are the perfect appetizers for the mushroom lovers in your house.

SERVES 4-6

Ingredients:
1 (6-ounce) can clams
8–12 fresh mushrooms
1 finely minced green onion
1/8 teaspoon garlic salt
½ teaspoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon melted butter
1 teaspoon oregano leaves
½ cup Italian breadcrumbs
1 egg
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon grated Romano cheese
2 tablespoons grated mozzarella cheese
¼ cup melted butter, for garnish
¼ cup grated mozzarella cheese, for garnish
Fresh minced parsley, for garnish

Method:
Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Drain and finely mince the clams, saving ¼ cup of clam juice for the stuffing. Lightly oil a small baking dish. Gently wash the mushrooms, pat dry, and remove the stems.

In a bowl, combine the clams, onions, garlic salt, minced garlic, butter, and oregano and mix well. Add the bread crumbs, egg, and clam juice and mix well. Add the cheeses and mix well.

Put about 1½ teaspoons of the stuffing mixture inside the mushroom cavity and slightly mound.

Place the stuffed mushrooms in the baking dish and pour ¼ cup melted butter over the top. Cover and bake in the oven for about 35–40 minutes.

Remove the cover and sprinkle ¼ cup of mozzarella on top and put back in the oven just long enough for the cheese to melt slightly (about 5–7 minutes).

Garnish with freshly diced parsley.
