Ingredients

• ½ cup olive oil
• 6 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups fresh bread crumbs
• 2 ½ cups chopped yellow onion
• ⅓ cup minced shallot
• ¾ cup chopped fresh chives
• 36 crimini mushrooms, stems removed

• 3 fluid ounces lemon juice

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add mushrooms, and cook for about 3 minutes. Drain, and set aside to cool.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, shallot, garlic, parsley, and chives. Cover, and let the vegetables sweat for a few minutes to release the aromas. Remove from heat, and stir in the breadcrumbs and lemon juice.

Step 3

Preheat the oven's broiler. Scoop out the mushroom caps, and fill with the bread crumb mixture. Place on a baking sheet. Top with shredded cheese.

Step 4

Broil for 3 to 5 minutes, until cheese is melted. Serve hot.
