Ingredients

• 16 pieces Button mushrooms
• 4 tablespoons Light cream cheese
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 0.25 cup Red bell pepper
• 2 stalks Green onions
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel. Carefully remove the stems and set the caps aside. Finely dice the stems for the stuffing mixture.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the diced mushroom stems, minced garlic, and finely chopped red bell pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until softened. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 4

In a medium mixing bowl, combine light cream cheese, cooked vegetable mixture, chopped green onions, parsley, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly.

Step 5

Using a small spoon, carefully fill each mushroom cap with the stuffing mixture, pressing gently to pack it in.

Step 6

Place the stuffed mushrooms onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is lightly golden on top.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm as a delightful appetizer or snack.
