Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Remove goat cheese from the fridge to allow time to soften.
Gently rub off dirt from mushrooms with a little brush or a damp paper towel (do not wash mushrooms under running water or they’ll become soggy when baked). Then, carefully remove the stems out of the mushroom caps. Finely chop them and set aside.
Melt butter in a small skillet placed over medium-high heat, and once hot add the shallots, chopped mushroom stems, thyme, parsley, and sauté for a few minutes, until softened and fragrant. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a medium bowl, mix the fresh goat cheese with cream, the shallots mixture and some honey until well combined. Using a knife, scoop the cheese mixture into the mushroom caps. Repeat until all the caps are full. The mixture will be slightly raised out of the mushroom caps. Pour the breadcrumbs into a small bowl, and gently dip the top of the stuffed mushrooms into the breadcrumbs.
Place the stuffed mushrooms onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them out from each others. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden. Garnish with extra herbs, and enjoy!

Notes

Important note. This recipe yields approximately 18 to 24 mushrooms, depending on size. I suggest about 4 mushrooms per guest.
