Instructions
Prepare all ingredients for the recipe. Coat a glass baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
Preheat oven to 550°F.
Remove stems from mushrooms by breaking the stem away from the cap. Stems may be thrown away or used for another dish.
Wipe mushroom caps with water dampened paper towel to remove dirt. Be careful not to saturate mushrooms with water or run under water.
Dice red peppers and mince garlic, if using whole clove.
In a medium-sized bowl, mix clams, clam juice, garlic, peppers, breadcrumbs, eggs, parmesan, and oregano. Stir until all ingredients are incorporated.
Stuff the first scoop into the mushroom cap using a spoon, fork, or small cookie scoop. Then press a heaping amount above the mushroom cap.
Top stuffed mushrooms with shredded mozzarella cheese.
Pour melted butter over mozzarella stuffed mushrooms, about 1/2 teaspoon on each mushroom.
Bake in 550° oven for 9 - 12 minutes. Watch carefully as they will brown quickly after 9 minutes.
