Ingredients
  

Mushrooms
  • 12 large mushrooms
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1/4 cup bread crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking sheet
  • Medium bowl
  • Spoon

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and gently clean the mushrooms using a damp paper towel. Carefully remove the stems from the mushroom caps and finely chop the stems, setting the caps aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well combined and form a cohesive stuffing.
Cooking
  1. Evenly spoon the prepared cream cheese mixture into each mushroom cap, ensuring they are generously filled. Arrange the stuffed mushrooms in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  2. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the stuffing is golden brown and bubbly. Serve hot as an appetizer or a delightful side dish.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can sauté the chopped mushroom stems with a bit of onion before adding them to the cream cheese mixture. If you don't have fresh parsley, dried parsley can be used, but reduce the amount by half.
