Ingredients

• 12 pieces Large white or cremini mushrooms
• 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.25 cup Italian breadcrumbs
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.125 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Clean the mushrooms gently with a damp paper towel to remove dirt, and remove the stems. Set the caps aside and finely chop the stems.

Step 3

In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped mushroom stems and minced garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked mushroom stems and garlic, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until well blended.

Step 5

Using a small spoon, fill each mushroom cap generously with the cheese mixture, slightly mounding the filling.

Step 6

Arrange the stuffed mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet, filling side up. If desired, sprinkle a small pinch of paprika on top of each stuffed mushroom for added color.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is golden and bubbly.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and serve warm. Enjoy!
