Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 whole Cremini mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 small, finely chopped Onion
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 0.25 cup, grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Chives
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Clean the mushrooms and remove the stems. Reserve the caps and chop the stems finely.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for about 3 minutes until translucent.
Add the chopped mushroom stems and garlic to the skillet. Cook for another 4 minutes until the moisture has mostly evaporated.
Stir in the thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper, and cook for 1 additional minute. Remove the skillet from the heat.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked mushroom mixture with cream cheese and Parmesan cheese until well blended.
Place the mushroom caps on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the caps with the remaining olive oil.
Stuff each mushroom cap with the cheese mixture using a small spoon.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until mushrooms are tender and the tops are golden brown.
Garnish with chopped chives before serving. Serve warm.
