Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 24 large white mushrooms
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) cream cheese (softened)
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) grated Parmesan cheese
Filling Ingredients:
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) breadcrumbs
Seasoning:
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper for optimal cooking surface.
- Carefully detach mushroom stems and mince them into fine, uniform pieces.
- Create a rich filling by blending cream cheese with Parmesan, incorporating finely chopped garlic, fresh parsley, processed mushroom stems, breadcrumbs, and seasoning.
- Thoroughly mix the filling ingredients until achieving a smooth, cohesive texture.
- Generously fill each mushroom cap with the prepared cream cheese mixture, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Arrange the stuffed mushrooms strategically on the lined baking sheet, leaving slight space between each piece.
- Roast in the preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes, monitoring until mushrooms become tender and filling develops a golden, slightly crispy exterior with bubbling edges.
Notes
- Swap out cream cheese for dairy-free alternatives like cashew cream or vegan cream cheese to make this recipe suitable for plant-based diets.
- Add crispy pancetta or bacon bits to the filling for extra depth of flavor and a savory crunch if you want a more indulgent version.
- Pat mushrooms completely dry before stuffing to prevent excess moisture and ensure a crispy, golden-brown topping during baking.
- Try different herbs like thyme or chives to customize the filling and add a fresh, aromatic twist to the classic recipe.
