Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 pieces baby bella mushrooms
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel. Remove the stems and set them aside.
Finely chop the mushroom stems and set them aside as part of the filling.
In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped mushroom stems, cooking for 3-4 minutes until softened. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked garlic and mushroom stems with cream cheese, grated parmesan, fresh parsley, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Stuff each mushroom cap with the filling, packing it gently with a spoon to create a small mound on top.
In a small bowl, combine breadcrumbs with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the stuffed mushrooms.
Arrange the mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the breadcrumb topping is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
