Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 16 medium-sized button mushrooms, stems removed and chopped
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mushrooms: Gently clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth to remove any dirt. Carefully remove the stems and finely chop them, setting both caps and chopped stems aside.
  2. Sauté the Filling Base: Heat olive oil in a skillet and sauté the chopped mushroom stems with fresh garlic until golden and fragrant, about 5 minutes. This step builds a deep, savory base for the filling.
  3. Mix the Cheese Filling: In a bowl, combine the sautéed mushroom mixture with cream cheese, grated Parmesan, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir vigorously until smooth and well blended.
  4. Stuff the Mushrooms: Carefully spoon the cheese mixture into each mushroom cap, packing it generously but evenly. Arrange the stuffed caps on a baking sheet to prepare for baking.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the mushrooms for 20 minutes or until the tops are golden and bubbling. Let them cool briefly before serving to enjoy the full creaminess.

Notes

  • Use fresh mushrooms and herbs to elevate the flavor compared to dried or pre-packaged.
  • Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet to allow even roasting and golden crust formation.
  • Lightly pat mushrooms dry before stuffing to prevent sogginess.
  • Customize cheese ratios by adjusting cream cheese and Parmesan amounts for preferred richness.
  • Serve warm for the best flavor and melty cheese texture.
