Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 pieces large white or cremini mushrooms
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup shredded mozzarella (optional for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel and remove the stems. Set the caps aside and finely chop the stems.
In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped mushroom stems and minced garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until the stems are softened and any moisture has evaporated. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, sautéed mushroom stems, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to create a creamy filling.
Using a spoon or piping bag, fill each mushroom cap with the prepared filling, slightly mounding it on top. If using mozzarella, sprinkle some on top of each filled mushroom.
Arrange the stuffed mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the tops are golden brown.
Remove the mushrooms from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional chopped parsley if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious stuffed mushrooms!
