Stuffed Mushrooms

Ingredients
15 white mushrooms
2 T of basil, chopped
2 T of tomato, finely chopped
1 T of green pepper, finely chopped
1 T of parmesan cheese
1 green onion, chopped
3 cloves of garlic, minced
Panko bread crumbs
Salt and pepper
Olive oil


Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

First clean off the white mushrooms.  Foodie Tip:  Use a clean towel only. Rinsing under water only causes the mushrooms to end up mushy.  Next, using a spoon, scoop out the stem of the mushroom from the top.  Be careful, so as not to ruin the mushroom.

Next in a small bowl combine the basil, tomato, green pepper, parmesan, green onion and garlic.  Scoop a little of the mixture into each mushroom cap.  Spread the mushrooms out evenly on a baking sheet.

Sprinkle panko bread crumbs over the mushroom tops.  Dust the tops with a little salt and pepper, then sprinkle the mushrooms with olive oil.

Allow to cook for 25-30 minutes.  Let cool a little before serving.
