Add these Parmesan mushroom appetizers to your Thanksgiving lineup, and we doubt you’ll have any leftovers of the cheesy, delectable dish.

"This juicy Parmesan mushroom recipe is inspired by my Ukrainian heritage, where we always cook delicious fresh food with minimal ingredients," says Olena Osipov, iFOODreal, adding that they only use four ingredients — including salt and pepper — and 10 minutes of prep time. 

"What's even better is that you can make ahead the recipe two days in advance, refrigerate right in a baking dish and bake fresh before serving ([whether you’re at] your house or not)."
