Carrabba's Stuffed Mushroom Recipe

Stuffed mushrooms this good shouldn’t be limited to restaurant dining!
The key to getting Carrabba's just right is balancing the stuffing so it’s rich but not too heavy.
Baking them on a rack instead of directly on a sheet pan keeps the bottoms from getting soggy.
The best part is the golden, slightly crispy crust on top that forms as the cheese and breadcrumbs bake together.
Fresh herbs make a difference here, especially parsley and basil, since they brighten up the richness of the filling.
If there are any left (which is rare), they reheat well in the oven at a low temperature to keep the texture just right!
