Ingredients
- 12 pieces large button mushrooms (or cremini mushrooms)
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 quarter cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup pepperoni slices, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Step 2
Carefully clean the mushrooms using a damp paper towel. Remove the stems and scoop out a bit of the inside to create space for the filling. Place the mushroom caps on the prepared baking sheet, hollow side up.
Step 3
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped pepperoni, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well blended.
Step 4
Using a spoon, carefully fill each mushroom cap with the cheese and pepperoni mixture, slightly mounding it on top.
Step 5
Drizzle the stuffed mushrooms with olive oil to help them cook evenly and prevent drying out.
Step 6
Bake the mushrooms in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is golden and bubbly.
Step 7
Remove the mushrooms from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, before serving.
Step 8
Serve warm as an appetizer or snack and enjoy!
