Either quickly rinse and dry immediately, or wipe with damp paper towel. Don't soak mushrooms as they absorb water easily.

Can I make these ahead?

Yes, prepare and stuff mushrooms up to a day ahead. Store covered in refrigerator and bake just before serving.

How do I make these gluten-free?

Use gluten-free breadcrumbs, adding 2 extra tablespoons since they're less dense than regular breadcrumbs.
