Ingredients

Scale

For the Mushrooms

  • 12 medium to large button or cremini mushrooms

For the Cheese Filling

  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For Sautéing

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Finely chopped stems of the mushrooms (from above)

Topping

  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mushrooms: Gently clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a damp cloth. Carefully remove the stems and hollow out the caps to create space for stuffing. Set the stems aside for the filling.
  2. Sauté the Stems and Garlic: Finely chop the mushroom stems and sauté them with minced garlic in olive oil over medium heat until soft and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. This forms a rich base for the filling.
  3. Make the Cheese Filling: In a bowl, combine the sautéed mushroom stems and garlic with cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, chopped parsley, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until smooth and well incorporated.
  4. Stuff the Mushrooms: Generously spoon the creamy cheese mixture into each mushroom cap, filling them to the brim for that gooey, irresistible bite.
  5. Add the Topping and Bake: Sprinkle breadcrumbs evenly over the stuffed mushrooms. Place them on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 20 minutes or until the tops turn golden and the cheese is bubbly.

Notes

  • Choose fresh, firm mushrooms for the best texture and flavor.
  • Do not overstuff the mushrooms to prevent filling from spilling and to ensure even cooking.
  • Use a combination of cheeses to balance meltiness, flavor, and texture.
  • Preheat the oven before baking to ensure even cooking and crispy topping.
  • Allow the mushrooms to cool slightly before serving to enhance flavor and safety.
