Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 pieces Button mushrooms
- 4 tablespoons Light cream cheese
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.25 cup Red bell pepper
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel. Carefully remove the stems and set the caps aside. Finely dice the stems for the stuffing mixture.
Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the diced mushroom stems, minced garlic, and finely chopped red bell pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until softened. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine light cream cheese, cooked vegetable mixture, chopped green onions, parsley, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly.
Using a small spoon, carefully fill each mushroom cap with the stuffing mixture, pressing gently to pack it in.
Place the stuffed mushrooms onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is lightly golden on top.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm as a delightful appetizer or snack.
