Ingredients
Scale
- 16 oz (about 20) white or cremini mushrooms, stems removed
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (or 1 teaspoon dried)
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a little heat)
- ¼ cup breadcrumbs (optional, for a crunchy topping)
- 1 tablespoon melted butter (for breadcrumbs, if using)
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
- Prepare Mushrooms: Wipe mushrooms clean with a damp paper towel. Remove stems and set caps aside. Finely chop the stems.
- Make the Filling: In a skillet over medium heat, sauté chopped mushroom stems and garlic for 2 minutes until softened. Let cool slightly.
- Mix the Stuffing: In a bowl, combine softened cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, sautéed mushroom stems, parsley, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix until smooth.
- Stuff the Mushrooms: Spoon the filling into each mushroom cap, slightly mounding it.
- Add Topping (Optional): If using breadcrumbs, mix them with melted butter and sprinkle over the mushrooms for a crunchy finish.
- Bake: Arrange mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is golden.
- Serve & Enjoy: Let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with extra parsley if desired.
Notes
- Make it Cheesier: Add shredded mozzarella or cheddar for an extra cheesy filling.
