Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces large button mushrooms (or cremini mushrooms)
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 quarter cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup pepperoni slices, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Carefully clean the mushrooms using a damp paper towel. Remove the stems and scoop out a bit of the inside to create space for the filling. Place the mushroom caps on the prepared baking sheet, hollow side up.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped pepperoni, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well blended.
Using a spoon, carefully fill each mushroom cap with the cheese and pepperoni mixture, slightly mounding it on top.
Drizzle the stuffed mushrooms with olive oil to help them cook evenly and prevent drying out.
Bake the mushrooms in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is golden and bubbly.
Remove the mushrooms from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, before serving.
Serve warm as an appetizer or snack and enjoy!
