Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 1 can Minced Clams Adds a delicious seafood twist; substitute with crab meat for a different flavor profile.
  • 1 Green Onion Finely minced; feel free to use chives for a milder taste.
  • 1 Egg Beaten; a flax egg works for a vegan option.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Minced Garlic Provides savory depth; add more for a stronger garlic flavor.
  • 1/8 teaspoon Garlic Salt Boosts the overall flavor of the stuffing; sea salt can be used as an alternative.
  • 1/2 cup Italian-Style Breadcrumbs Essential for texture; use gluten-free breadcrumbs for a suitable alternative.
  • 1 teaspoon Oregano Infuses the mixture with aromatic flavor; try using Italian seasoning for a herb mix.
  • 3 tablespoons Melted Butter Adds richness to the filling; olive oil is a great substitute for a dairy-free option.
  • 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan Offers creaminess and savory flavor; fresh cheese yields better melting results.
  • 1 tablespoon Romano Offers creaminess and savory flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons Mozzarella Used for stuffing; fresh yields better melting results.
  • 1/4 cup Mozzarella Used for garnish; fresh yields better melting results.
For the Mushrooms
  • Mushrooms The star of the dish; use large white button or cremini mushrooms for the best stuffing experience.
For Garnish
  • Fresh Parsley Adds a pop of color and a hint of freshness.
  • Lemon Wedges Brightens the dish, enhancing the overall flavor; squeeze over the stuffed mushrooms just before serving.
