Baked Mushrooms and White Beans with Buttery Bread Crumbs

1. Preheat Oven and Sauté Mushrooms

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. In an ovenproof skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and add the mixed mushrooms. Season with kosher salt and black pepper and cook for 7 to 10 minutes until browned and crisp.

2. Add Aromatics and Butter

Stir in the butter, chopped shallot, garlic cloves, and fresh thyme leaves, and cook for about a minute until the garlic and shallot soften and the thyme becomes fragrant.

3. Fold in Beans and Cheese

Fold in the drained and rinsed white beans and scatter crumbled feta cheese over the skillet. Pour in the stock and bake in the preheated oven for 13 to 15 minutes, until bubbling at the edges.

4. Prepare Buttery Bread Crumbs

In a small saucepan, melt three tablespoons of unsalted butter and toss with the fresh coarse bread crumbs or panko.

5. Broil with Bread Crumbs

Remove the skillet from the oven, sprinkle the buttered bread crumbs evenly over the top, and broil for 1 to 2 minutes until golden and toasty.

6. Garnish and Serve

Scatter a handful of roughly chopped Italian parsley over the baked dish and serve.
