Ingredients

• 16 pieces button mushrooms
• 120 grams cream cheese
• 30 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 30 grams panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper, freshly ground

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel. Remove the stems carefully, setting the caps aside, and finely chop the stems.

Step 3

In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped mushroom stems and minced garlic, cooking for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, cooked mushroom stems and garlic mixture, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and evenly incorporated.

Step 5

Using a small spoon, stuff each mushroom cap generously with the filling, mounding it slightly on top.

Step 6

In another small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with the melted butter. Sprinkle the buttery breadcrumbs over the tops of the stuffed mushrooms to create a crisp topping.

Step 7

Arrange the stuffed mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the breadcrumb topping is golden brown.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with additional parsley if desired, and serve warm.
