French Onion Soup Stuffed Mushrooms
Prep Time:5 minutes
Cook Time:20 minutes
bake time:15 hours
Total Time:40 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 lb 450g medium button or crimini mushrooms , about 12–16
  • 2 medium 300g sweet yellow onions, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons 26g unsalted butter
  • ½ cup 120ml broth
  • ½ teaspoon 1g garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon ½g dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon 1g ground black pepper
  • ½ cup 60g grated Gruyere or Swiss cheese
  • Fresh parsley or thyme for garnish

Instructions

  • Slice the onions into thin quarter circles.
  • Melt the butter in a large frying pan over medium heat.
  • Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring frequently, for 7–9 minutes, until they begin to brown.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the broth, garlic powder, dried thyme, and black pepper. Stir well, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  • Continue cooking for 12–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are very soft, deeply browned, and reduced. Taste and add salt as needed, depending on the saltiness of your broth.
  • While the onions cook, wash and dry the mushrooms. Remove the stems and clean out the centers to create enough room for the filling.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking pan with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
  • Place the mushrooms hole-side up on the prepared pan.
  • Spoon a small amount of the onion mixture into each mushroom, filling them tightly.
  • Sprinkle a small mound of grated cheese over each mushroom.
  • Bake for 10–15 minutes, until the mushrooms are cooked through and the cheese is melted and browned in spots.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley or thyme and serve hot.
