Ingredients
- 20 pieces baby bella mushrooms
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp lemon zest
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel. Remove the stems and set them aside.
Step 3
Finely chop the mushroom stems and set them aside as part of the filling.
Step 4
In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped mushroom stems, cooking for 3-4 minutes until softened. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
Step 5
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked garlic and mushroom stems with cream cheese, grated parmesan, fresh parsley, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Step 6
Stuff each mushroom cap with the filling, packing it gently with a spoon to create a small mound on top.
Step 7
In a small bowl, combine breadcrumbs with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the stuffed mushrooms.
Step 8
Arrange the mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
Step 9
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the breadcrumb topping is golden brown.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
