Ingredients

• 20 pieces Button mushrooms or cremini mushrooms
• 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Breadcrumbs (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with a non-stick spray.

Step 2

Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel. Remove the stems and set the caps aside. Finely chop the stems.

Step 3

In a medium skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Sauté the chopped mushroom stems and minced garlic for 3-5 minutes, or until softened. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, sautéed mushroom stems, parsley, chives, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and evenly combined.

Step 5

Using a small spoon or piping bag, fill each mushroom cap with the herbed cheese mixture, slightly mounding it over the top.

Step 6

If desired, sprinkle a small amount of breadcrumbs over the top of each stuffed mushroom for added texture.

Step 7

Arrange the stuffed mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is golden and bubbly.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
