Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 large white button mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 cup unsalted Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Gently clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel. Remove the stems and scoop out the insides with a small spoon to make room for the filling.
Place the mushroom caps on a baking sheet, stem side up.
Heat olive oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.
In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed garlic, softened cream cheese, chopped parsley, grated Parmesan cheese, black pepper, and lemon juice. Mix until well combined.
Using a small spoon or piping bag, fill each mushroom cap with the cheese mixture. Top with a sprinkle of red chili flakes if using.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the tops are golden.
Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy these cheesy, garlicky bites as a light appetizer or snack.
