Mushrooms are 'umami bombs' that dehydrate during roasting, concentrating flavor. The filling provides textural contrast: crisp crumbs against soft mushroom caps. Evaporating excess moisture is key to preventing sogginess.

Recipe FAQ

Why is it watery?
Mushrooms release water. Don't wash them (wipe them) and bake at high heat to evaporate liquid.
Cheese leaked out.
Don't pack too tight, and use a cheese that holds shape or mix it with crumbs.
