Ingredients
Stuffed Mushrooms
- 12 large mushrooms (stems removed)
- 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the mushrooms evenly.
- Prepare Filling: In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated and form a creamy filling.
- Stuff Mushrooms: Take each mushroom cap and generously fill it with the cream cheese mixture, making sure the filling is packed well to maintain shape during baking.
- Arrange and Drizzle: Place the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet in a single layer. Drizzle each mushroom lightly with olive oil to add moisture and help achieve a golden top.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the mushrooms are tender and the tops of the stuffed filling turn a golden brown color.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve the stuffed mushrooms warm as a flavorful appetizer perfect for sharing.
Notes
- You can substitute Parmesan cheese with Pecorino Romano for a sharper flavor.
- Use gluten-free breadcrumbs to make this recipe gluten free.
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to mix easily without lumps.
- For added texture, mix chopped mushroom stems into the filling before stuffing.
- Serve immediately for best taste and texture as leftovers may become soggy.
