Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Gently wipe each of the 16 mushrooms clean using a damp paper towel to remove any surface dirt.
- Extract the stems from the mushrooms, creating a hollow space perfect for holding the creamy filling.
- Finely mince the removed mushroom stems into tiny, uniform pieces.
Filling
- In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, grated parmesan, minced garlic, chopped stems, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and consistent.
- Lightly coat the exterior of each mushroom cap with olive oil.
- Generously stuff each mushroom cavity with the cream cheese mixture, allowing it to mound slightly above the rim.
- Sprinkle breadcrumbs across the top of each stuffed mushroom.
Baking
- Position the stuffed mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet, leaving small gaps between each one.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes until the tops are golden brown and the mushrooms are tender.
- Remove from the oven and allow the mushrooms to rest for 5 minutes before transferring them to a serving platter.
Notes
These stuffed mushrooms are best served warm. They can be garnished with parsley and are delicious with a light dip. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
