Thyme Until Dinner: 30 minutes
Who wants to look like they spent a ton of time in the kitchen but really only spent 20 minutes? This lamb stuffed mushroom recipe will have your mouth begging for more! It is so simple and easy to build plus it only takes 20-25 minutes in the oven to bake! You can easily make this in advance and toss it in the oven for a quick, hot, delicious meal! Pair it with a quick simple salad and voila you have the mushrooms with the meats! YUM!
You will notice a few unique ingredients in this recipe...like grated apple. This is because lamb can easily dry out--the apple and pepper adds nice flavor and moisture to the lamb. Bonus: it also adds some great nutrients to this dish that your family will thank you for later! lol
Alright! Let's get cookin' and spend some thyme together ya'll! Per the usual I included the basic ingredients you need for this recipe, the ingredients I used, and directions to follow along. If you modified something, then skip that step or replace the step with your own ingredient!

Direction Thyme:

3. Prepare Mushrooms Follow this Super Tip for Mushroom prep!
Extra TIP: I take my meat & egg out during this step to let it warm up for easier mixing
4. Combine lamb, peppers, onion, garlic, shallot, panko, apple, feta, basil, thyme, salt, & pepper
5. Add egg to meat mixture & combine
6. Drizzle olive oil and thyme in the bottom of each mushroom cup (doesn't need a whole lot just a bit to get the cooking process going)
7. Fill each cup with the lamb mixture
TIP: I put a dollop at a time in and push it down a little to get into every crevice then I mound it on top like a meatball
8. Sprinkle each with shredded Parmesan
9. Bake 18-25 minutes until cheese begins to brown
