Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan). Grease a large baking dish with some of the prepared oil.
  2. Clean the mushrooms and remove the stems. Mix the tvaroh with garlic and most of the pesto; reserve some pesto for topping.
  3. Fill the mushroom caps with the mixture and press slightly. Arrange them in a single layer. Add Parmesan, remaining pesto, and drizzle with the remaining oil.
  4. Bake for about 20 minutes until the mushrooms soften and the filling turns golden. Carefully drain any excess juice.
  5. Before serving, add basil leaves. The image shows nine mushrooms from the whole batch. Can be served warm or at room temperature.
