Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees, or preheat a smoker.

Step 2

Carefully remove and discard the stems of the mushrooms, then clean to remove any dirt with a damp cloth. Fill mushroom cavity with pesto (approx. 1/2 teaspoon). Top with a pinch of Panko if desired. Bake or smoke for about 15 minutes, until the mushrooms are cooked and the filling is warm.

Step 3

Garnish with Parmesan and/or toasted pine nuts.
