Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the mushrooms.

Notes
- For extra flavor, add finely chopped onions or herbs like thyme to the stuffing mixture.
- Use gluten-free breadcrumbs to make this recipe gluten free.
- Substitute mozzarella with other cheeses such as Parmesan or cheddar for different tastes.
- If you prefer crispier topping, broil the mushrooms for the last 2 minutes of baking.
- This dish pairs beautifully with a fresh green salad or as a side to grilled meats.
