Directions
-
Preheat the broiler and position the rack about 4 to 5 inches from the heat source. Lightly grease a broiler pan.
-
In a small bowl, combine the sliced fresh mushrooms, chopped green onions, and grated Parmesan cheese. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Clean the whole trout and pat them dry with paper towels. Spoon the mushroom and cheese mixture into the cavity of each trout, filling them generously but not tightly.
-
Securely close the cavities with toothpicks or skewers to keep the stuffing inside during cooking.
-
Place the stuffed trout on the prepared broiler pan. Broil for 5 to 10 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
-
Remove from the oven, discard toothpicks or skewers, and serve immediately.
