Preparation time: 15 minutes
Baking time: 20 minutes
Total time: 35 minutes
Servings: 4

Necessary ingredients:

- 12 large mushrooms (preferably champignon or portobello)
- 1 medium onion
- 1 clove of garlic
- 3-4 slices of jamon (or prosciutto, for a similar taste)
- 3-4 tablespoons of grated parmesan cheese
- Grated cheese for gratin (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for sautéing
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Step-by-step instructions:

1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by cleaning the mushrooms with a damp cloth, ensuring they are well cleaned of any impurities. Remove the stems of the mushrooms, as they will be used in the filling.

2. Sautéing the vegetables: In a non-stick skillet, add a little olive oil and sauté the finely chopped onion over medium heat until it becomes translucent (about 3-4 minutes). Add the crushed garlic clove and finely chopped mushroom stems. Sauté the mixture for 2-3 minutes until the flavors combine and the vegetables start to soften.

3. Adding the jamon: Cut the slices of jamon into small cubes. Add them to the skillet and mix well. Sauté everything for another 2-3 minutes until the jamon becomes slightly crispy. Once the mixture has cooled slightly, incorporate the grated parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

4. Filling the mushrooms: Preheat the oven to 180°C. Fill each mushroom with the vegetable and jamon mixture, making sure to fill them well but not overcrowding them. If you want a more appetizing appearance, sprinkle grated cheese for gratin on top of each mushroom.

5. Baking: Place the stuffed mushrooms in a baking dish and put them in the oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the mushrooms become tender and the cheese on top is nicely browned.

6. Serving: Finally, take the mushrooms out of the oven and let them cool slightly. You can garnish them with chopped fresh parsley for an extra touch of color and flavor.

Practical tips:

- You can experiment with different types of cheese, such as mozzarella or goat cheese, to add a distinctive note.
- For a more intense flavor, add some chopped nuts (pecans or almonds) to the filling mixture.
- If you prefer a vegetarian option, you can replace the jamon with smoked tofu or vegetables (e.g., bell peppers or zucchini).

These stuffed mushrooms with jamon are not only a delight but also an excellent way to impress your guests. Serve them warm, alongside a dry white wine or a refreshing cocktail for an unforgettable culinary experience!
