Ingredients
- 16 large button mushrooms, stems removed and chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup onion, finely diced
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Brush the mushroom caps with a little olive oil and place them on the prepared baking sheet, gill side up.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the chopped mushroom stems, garlic, and onion until softened and fragrant.
- Transfer the sautéed mixture to a bowl and mix in the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, cream cheese, parsley, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Spoon the filling into each mushroom cap, mounding it slightly on top.
- Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is golden on top.
- Let them cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Add cooked spinach or sun-dried tomatoes to the filling for extra flavor.
- Substitute mozzarella or goat cheese for cream cheese for a different taste.
- Sprinkle in red pepper flakes or finely chopped jalapeños for heat.
- Add chopped walnuts or pine nuts for a nutty crunch.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5–8 minutes.
- Freezing is not recommended as it can alter the texture of the filling.
