ELIZABETH SCHOONOVER'S STUFFED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a food processor, pulse bread until fine crumbs form (you should have about 1 cup). In a large bowl, toss breadcrumbs with cheese, parsley, and garlic; season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
• Using one hand, dip a mushroom in melted butter to coat completely; transfer to breadcrumb mixture. With other hand, stuff mushroom with filling, patting some mixture on bottom and sides. Place, stemmed sides up, on a rimmed baking sheet. Repeat until all the mushrooms are stuffed.
• Bake until golden brown and cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes before transferring to a serving dish.

SIMPLE STUFFED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Pulse the bread in the bowl of a food processor until finely chopped. Transfer to a bowl. Place the scallions, bell pepper, and goat cheese in the bowl of a food processor, and pulse until finely chopped and well combined. Transfer mixture to the bowl with the breadcrumbs, and stir. Stir in the cilantro, half the grated Monterey Jack, salt, and pepper.
• Heat oven to 350 degrees; position rack in the center of oven. Place mushroom caps, cups facing upward, on a large cookie sheet. Spoon a heaping teaspoon of stuffing mixture into each cap. Bake until mushrooms are tender and filling is hot, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove mushrooms, turn oven to broil, and position rack about 4 inches from broiler. Sprinkle mushrooms with remaining grated cheese, and broil until cheese is golden, about 1 minute. Serve immediately.
