Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Clean the mushrooms and remove the stems. Finely chop the stems and set aside.
  3. In a skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil and sauté the chopped mushroom stems and garlic until tender.
  4. In a bowl, combine the sautéed stems, cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, clams, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Stuff each mushroom cap with the mixture and place them on a baking sheet.
  6. Drizzle with a little olive oil.
Baking
  1. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the tops are golden.
Serving
  1. Serve warm as an appetizer or side dish. They pair well with a simple salad or a hearty pasta dish.

Notes

If you have leftovers, let the mushrooms cool completely. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Reheat in an oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through. You can also prepare the filling in advance and stuff the mushrooms before baking.
