Ingredients

• 18 pieces Large white button mushrooms
• 4 oz Cream cheese
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.25 cup Italian breadcrumbs
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 0.25 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 0.125 tsp Chili flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth to remove dirt, and gently remove the stems, setting them aside for the filling.

Step 3

Finely chop the mushroom stems and set them aside.

Step 4

In a skillet over medium heat, warm 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and chopped mushroom stems. Cook for 3-4 minutes until softened, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked mushroom stems and garlic mixture with cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, parsley, salt, black pepper, and optional chili flakes. Stir until evenly mixed.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Arrange the stuffed mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the mushrooms.

Step 8

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the mushrooms are tender.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
