Step 1
To prepare this dish, we need to use very large mushrooms. I used these large white button mushrooms. Wash the mushrooms thoroughly and let them drain. Carefully remove the stem without damaging the cap.

Set aside the mushroom caps. Season them with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside. Cut the separated stems into small cubes. Make sure to chop them finely so the filling doesn't fall out of the caps.

Step 5
Add the chicken mince. I used pre-cooked chicken breast, ground through a meat grinder, but you can also use raw mince. It's not very important. Fry the mince with the onion and mushrooms until fully cooked.

Step 7
Place the mushrooms in a baking dish with the filling side up. Grate the hard cheese on a coarse grater (it's important to use a coarse one. Finely grated cheese will burn in the oven and become similar to chips).
