Each summer, at the Gilroy Garlic Festival in Gilroy, California—home to 90 percent of the American garlic crop—festivalgoers can nosh on a wide assortment of garlicky dishes, ranging from spaghetti enrobed in a pungent pesto to garlic ice cream. One of our favorites is this dish of garlic-stuffed mushrooms, which we've enhanced with a little dry sherry and nutty Gruyère cheese.
Ingredients
- 1⁄2 cup olive oil, plus more
- 20 large cremini mushrooms, stems roughly chopped
- 10 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 small shallot, chopped
- 1⁄4 cup dry sherry
- 3 tbsp. chopped parsley
- 2 tbsp. chopped sage
- 1 egg white
- 1 1⁄4 cups grated Gruyère
- 1⁄2 cup panko bread crumbs
Instructions
Step 1
Heat oven to 375°. Toss 2 tbsp. oil, the mushroom caps, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Arrange stem side down; bake until tender, 25–30 minutes.
Step 2
Heat oven broiler. Heat remaining oil and the garlic in a 12" skillet over medium; cook until garlic is golden, 4–6 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer garlic to a paper towel to drain. Add chopped mushroom stems, shallot, salt, and pepper to skillet; cook until shallot is soft, 3–4 minutes. Add sherry; cook until evaporated, 2–3 minutes. Transfer to a food processor; add parsley, sage, and egg white, and pulse until coarsely ground. Transfer to a bowl; stir in reserved garlic, the Gruyère, and panko. Fill caps with 1 tbsp. filling; return to baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil; broil until tops are browned, 2–3 minutes.
