2. Prepare the Mushrooms:

   • Clean the mushroom caps thoroughly and remove the stems. Set aside.

3. Cook the Stuffing:

   • In a large skillet, heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.

4. Add Breadcrumbs:

   • Remove the skillet from the heat and gradually add the breadcrumbs, about a half cup at a time.
