About 20 min.
Preparation
Step 1
If you don’t like the thin skin on the mushrooms, you can peel it off, but it does not affect the taste of the finished dish. Finely dice the mushroom stems.
Step 2
Peel the onion, cut it in half and dice it finely.
Step 3
Cut the ham into thin slices and then into small cubes.
Step 4
Heat a pan with some butter. Put the chopped mushroom stems into the hot pan. I use butter for frying, but you can use vegetable or clarified butter if you prefer.
Step 5
Lightly fry the mushroom pieces with the butter, then add the chopped onion. Fry again, stirring.
Step 6
After 3-5 minutes, add the ham, spices and a little salt. Stir and continue frying. Rely on your stove, as times can vary.
Step 7
After a few more minutes, remove the pan from the heat and transfer the mixture to a bowl. You can add thyme or other aromatic herbs.
Step 8
Sometimes I also add freshly chopped dill.
Step 9
Then add cheese grated on a coarse grater to the mixture. The stuffing for the mushroom caps is ready.
Step 10
Start stuffing: simply scoop the filling with a spoon and pack it into the caps, gently pressing it down.
Step 11
Place the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet or in an ovenproof dish, filling side up.
Step 12
Cover each cap with a thin slice of cheese.
Step 13
For extra juiciness I add a little olive oil into the caps. Put them into a preheated oven at 180°C (about 350°F) and bake for 10-15 minutes. Determine the exact time and temperature according to your oven. Enjoy!
