36 mushrooms (crimini, stems removed)
12 cup olive oil
2 12 cups yellow onion (chopped)

-Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, shallot, garlic, parsley, and chives. Cover, and let the vegetables sweat for a few minutes to release the aromas. Remove from heat, and stir in the breadcrumbs and lemon juice.

-Preheat the oven's broiler. Scoop out the mushroom caps, and fill with the bread crumb mixture. -Place on a baking sheet. Top with shredded cheese.

-Broil for 3 to 5 minutes, until cheese is melted. Serve hot.
