Easy to prepare, bursting with flavor, and beautifully golden, they’re sure to become a timeless favorite at your table.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel. Remove the stems and set the mushroom caps aside. Finely chop the stems.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped mushroom stems and minced garlic, cooking for 2-3 minutes until soft and fragrant.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked mushroom stems and garlic, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, cream cheese, parsley, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix thoroughly to create a cohesive stuffing.
Using a small spoon, fill each mushroom cap with the stuffing mixture, pressing gently to ensure it's packed in.
Place the stuffed mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the tops with the melted butter and a small squeeze of lemon juice, if desired, for extra flavor.
Bake the stuffed mushrooms in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the stuffing is golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional chopped parsley if desired.
