Ingredients

Scale

For the Mushrooms

  • 20–25 fresh button or cremini mushrooms, stems removed and chopped

For the Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, freshly minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh herbs (parsley, thyme, or basil), chopped
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1–2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter (for roasting)

Instructions

  1. Prep the Mushrooms: Gently clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel. Carefully remove the stems to create pockets for the filling and finely chop the stems to use in the filling mixture.
  2. Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, combine softened cream cheese, grated Parmesan, minced garlic, chopped mushroom stems, fresh herbs, and breadcrumbs. Mix thoroughly until creamy and well blended.
  3. Stuff the Mushrooms: Using a small spoon, generously fill each mushroom cap with the cheesy mixture, pressing lightly to help them hold together during baking.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Arrange the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet drizzled with olive oil or lined with parchment paper. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until mushrooms are tender and the tops are golden brown and bubbling.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle freshly chopped herbs or extra Parmesan over the mushrooms. Serve warm as delicious finger food or alongside your favorite side dishes.

Notes

  • Don’t overcrowd the baking tray to ensure even cooking and crisp edges.
  • Quickly sauté chopped mushroom stems to reduce excess moisture and prevent sogginess.
  • Use room temperature cream cheese for a smoother, creamier filling.
  • Choose mushrooms of similar size for consistent baking times.
  • Try mixing in different cheeses such as mozzarella, gouda, or goat cheese for varied flavors.
