Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Peel outer papery skin from garlic head. Cut off top 1/3 inch to expose garlic cloves. Place garlic head, cut side up, in small ramekin. Drizzle 1 1/2 tablespoons oil over. Wrap ramekin in double thickness of foil. Place in oven; roast garlic 30 minutes. Open top of foil, exposing garlic. Continue to roast garlic until golden, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven; cool.
Step 2
Cut out mushroom stems; chop stems finely. Melt butter with 1 teaspoon oil in heavy medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add chopped stems; sauté until beginning to release juices, about 3 minutes. Add breadcrumbs; stir until crumbs are toasted, about 5 minutes. Remove skillet from heat. Mix in parsley and chopped rosemary.
Step 3
Separate roasted garlic into cloves and peel; reserve oil. Using fork, finely mash enough garlic in bowl to measure 1 1/2 tablespoons. Mix in reserved oil. Stir garlic mixture into chopped mushroom mixture. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 4
Line large baking sheet with foil. Spray with oil spray. Brush mushroom caps with 1 1/2 tablespoons oil. Place rounded side down on prepared sheet. Lightly salt mushrooms. Spoon filling into mushrooms, mounding in center.(Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; chill.)
Step 5
Preheat oven to 375°F. Bake mushrooms uncovered until tender, about 20 minutes. Arrange on platter. Garnish with rosemary sprigs, if desired.
