Holiday Billy Goats
Ingredients:

– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 small onion, finely chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 4 ounces creamy goat cheese
– 1/4 cup breadcrumbs

– Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
2. Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt. Gently twist off the stems and finely chop them. Place the mushroom caps on the prepared baking sheet.
3. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped mushroom stems, onion, and garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.

5. Stuff each mushroom cap with the goat cheese mixture, mounding it slightly on top.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is golden brown.
7. Remove from the oven and let the Holiday Billy Goats cool slightly before serving.
