Stuffed Mushrooms With Panko and Pecorino image

These flavorful stuffed mushrooms come together quickly, which makes them great for entertaining. Crunchy panko bread crumbs, instead of the traditional sort, are combined with salty cheese, parsley and garlic, then spooned into mushroom caps and baked until crisp and golden. You can assemble them through Step 2 a few days in advance and pop them into the oven minutes before guests arrive. Pro tip: Don't throw away the mushroom stems. Freeze them to add to your next pot of stock for unbeatable richness.

4 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt
Black pepper
