Step by Step guide

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 356°F.

Step 2

Wash the mushrooms and carefully remove the stems and the inner part of the mushrooms, leaving the caps intact, by twisting the stems clockwise. Finely chop the mushroom stems; we need only ⅓ cup.

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the chopped mushrooms, onion, and bell pepper for 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the onion becomes soft. Remove from heat. Mix the sautéed vegetables with the breadcrumbs, chopped oregano, salt, and pepper. Fill each mushroom cap with this mixture.

Step 4

Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large oven-safe skillet. Place the mushrooms cap-side down in it. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake for about 15 minutes until the top is golden brown. Serve hot. Bon Appetit!!
