Ingredients

  • 10 tbsp butter 1 stick + 2 tbsp, divided
  • 1 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
  • 1 bunch parsley chopped, divided
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 5 oz  parmesan cheese divided
  • 1 small white onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 oz pancetta diced (optional)
  • 2 lb baby bella mushrooms cleaned and diced
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine pinot grigio, chardonnay
  • kosher salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp dijon mustard
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary leaves chopped
  • 4 sprigs fresh thyme leaves chopped

Instructions

  • In a large sauté pan, melt 1 stick of butter over medium heat. Add the breadcrumbs and toast lightly for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the parsley. Season with black pepper, transfer to a mixing bowl and set aside to cool.
  • Using the same pan, heat the remaining butter over med-high heat. Add the onion, garlic and pancetta and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the mushrooms and sauté for 2-3 minutes. Deglaze* the pan with the wine. (*scrape up the browned bits of food stuck to the bottom of pan)
  • Add 1/2 tsp of kosher salt and 1/2 tsp pepper. Allow the liquids that develop to evaporate, stirring occasionally. This should take about 5 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to med-low. Stir the dijon mustard, cream cheese and 1 cup of parmesan cheese into the mushrooms until the cheese has melted. Remove the pan from heat and stir in the herbs.
  • Pour the filling into a lightly greased baking dish. Add the remaining parmesan cheese to the bowl of, now cooled, breadcrumb topping. Generously top the mushroom filling with the breadcrumbs. Broil under low flame for 4-5 minutes, or until the topping is a deep golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
