Description
Delicious and savory stuffed mushrooms filled with a creamy cheese mixture, perfect for any occasion as an appetizer or side dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 16 large mushrooms, preferably portobello or cremini for that rich flavor
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened for a creamy texture
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese to add gooeyness
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs for that perfect crunch
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese for an extra layer of flavor
- 1 clove garlic, minced, to give it an aromatic touch
- 1/4 tsp black pepper for seasoning
- 1/4 tsp salt to elevate the flavors
- Fresh herbs (like parsley and thyme), chopped, for a burst of freshness
- Olive oil for drizzling to ensure a perfect bake
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and clean the mushrooms gently with a damp cloth, then remove the stems.
- In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, black pepper, and salt. Mix until a creamy filling forms.
- Stuff each mushroom cap generously with the creamy filling, packing it well.
- Arrange the stuffed mushrooms in a baking dish, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with fresh herbs, and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and bubbly.
Notes
- Select large, fresh mushrooms for the best results; they should be firm and blemish-free.
- Avoid overcooking; mushrooms should maintain a slight bite.
- Feel free to experiment with different cheeses, herbs, and spices to customize the flavor.
