Time 50m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 pounds medium white button mushrooms, quartered
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
4 ounces cream cheese, cut into pieces
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella

1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are softened and have released most of their liquid, 7 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the cream cheese and cook until melted and evenly coating the mushrooms. Stir in the mozzarella, 1/2 cup of the panko and 1/4 cup of the Parmesan until combined. Transfer to an 8-inch square baking dish.

SERIOUSLY GOOD MUSHROOM STUFFING



Seriously Good Mushroom Stuffing image

Loaded with fresh mushrooms, onions, sage, and thyme this homemade mushroom stuffing is deeply flavorful and absolutely delicious. The stuffing is savory and soft in the middle, and perfectly crisp on top. We keep this stuffing vegan and use a rich vegetable broth. We find the stuffing is absolutely delicious this way, but if you prefer, you can use chicken or turkey broth as a substitute. Butter can also be substituted for the olive oil and you can add eggs, which will provide a slightly more dense, custardy texture. See our article above and the notes section below for more about eggs in stuffing.

Time 1h20m

Yield Makes 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 large bakery-style rustic bread loaf, like French bread or sourdough (14 to 16 ounces)
6 tablespoons (90 ml) olive oil
1 pound (450 grams) white button, cremini, shiitake, or wild mushrooms (or a mixture)
2 cups diced yellow onion (1 large onion)
1 1/2 cups diced celery (3 large celery stalks)
1 tablespoon minced garlic (3 cloves)
2 tablespoons finely minced fresh sage or 2 teaspoons dried sage
1 tablespoon finely minced fresh thyme leaves or 3/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup, see note
2 to 3 cups (470 ml to 700 ml) rich vegetable broth or use chicken or turkey broth
1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley or 1 1/2 tablespoons dried parsley
3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt, plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (176° C).
  • Cut bread into 1-inch cubes, spread out onto a large rimmed baking sheet, and bake, stirring every so often, until the bread is dry and hard on the outside, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • While the bread bakes, prepare and cook the vegetables. Chop the mushrooms into very small pieces either by hand or by using a food processor. If using a food processor (the quickest method), place half the mushrooms in the bowl of your food processor and pulse until roughly chopped into pieces the size of rice. Transfer to a bowl, and then repeat with the remaining mushrooms.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or deep pot over medium heat, and then add the mushrooms. Cook, stirring often, until the liquid has evaporated and they are starting to brown, 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Stir in the onions, celery, garlic, sage, and thyme. Cook, stirring often, until the onions have softened and smell sweet, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper - start with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, taste, and then add from there. Stir in the maple syrup.
  • Take the pot off of the heat, and then stir in the broth. Taste the mixture once more and check the seasoning. If it needs it, add a pinch more salt. Stir in the bread cubes and half of the parsley. If after the bread is well mixed into the vegetable mixture, it still looks dry, add 1/4 cup more broth or more until the bread looks moist, but stop before there is excess liquid at the bottom of the pot.
  • Transfer the stuffing mixture to a lightly greased baking dish (use a deep 8-inch x 8-inch square pan, 9-inch by 13-inch dish or similar). Cover with a layer of foil, and then bake for 30 minutes. Uncover the stuffing, and bake another 10 minutes or until the top is golden brown and crisp on top. Serve with the remaining parsley scattered on top.

FRENCH ONION STUFFING



French Onion Stuffing image

Golden caramelized onions and mushrooms are the building blocks of this vegetarian stuffing inspired by French onion soup. The onions take some time to cook, but the meltingly tender result brings rich sweetness to the dish. Mushrooms are added for their texture, and mushroom broth reinforces the stuffing with more depth. An initial steam helps soften the big mound of raw onions to make caramelizing them easier and faster. The onions can be cooked the day before (through Step 3) and refrigerated, then rewarmed before using.

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (1-pound) country bread loaf, cut into 1- to 1½-inch pieces
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for greasing the pan
4 tablespoons neutral oil, such as safflower or canola oil
2 cups finely chopped celery (from about 4 ribs)
5 garlic cloves, minced
4 ounces whole white mushrooms, finely chopped (1 1/4 cups)
Salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves, plus 1 thyme sprig
4 pounds yellow onions, halved and thinly sliced (16 packed cups)
1/4 cup dry white wine
3 cups mushroom broth
3 large eggs, beaten
Chopped chives, for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spread bread on a rimmed baking sheet, and bake until very dry and light golden, about 15 minutes. Remove bread and increase oven temperature to 425 degrees. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with butter.
  • Meanwhile, in a large pot with a lid, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium. Add celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5 minutes. Stir in garlic until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are tender and mixture is dry, about 5 minutes. Stir in thyme leaves and transfer mixture to a large bowl.
  • In the same pot, add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and melt 6 tablespoons of the butter over medium. Add onions and thyme sprig, season with salt and pepper, and stir to evenly coat in the oil and butter. Cover and cook, stirring after 5 minutes, until onions soften and reduce in volume, about 10 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high and cook uncovered, stirring frequently to scrape up browned bits, until onions are very soft and deep golden, about 25 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of the onions in a small bowl.
  • Add wine to pot and stir until all of the liquid is absorbed, about 1 minute. Add broth and bring to a boil over high. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld; discard the thyme sprig. Remove from the heat.
  • Add eggs to the mushroom mixture in the large bowl and mix well. Add the bread, then pour over the onion mixture. Season with salt and pepper, and gently toss until well combined. Transfer to the prepared baking dish. Top with the reserved onions and dot with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter.
  • Cover tightly with foil and bake until stuffing is hot throughout, 30 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until crisp in spots, about 15 minutes longer. Garnish with chives and serve warm.
