Ingredients

• 16 pieces Button mushrooms or cremini mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium, finely chopped Shallot
• 2 cloves, minced Garlic
• 4 ounces, softened Cream cheese
• 0.33 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup, grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon, chopped Fresh thyme
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
• 0 Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt. Gently remove the stems and set them aside. Arrange the mushroom caps, hollow-side up, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased with cooking spray.

Step 3

Finely chop the mushroom stems and set them aside.

Step 4

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped mushroom stems and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until softened.

Step 5

Add the shallot and garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Step 6

In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed mixture with cream cheese, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, thyme, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix until fully incorporated.

Step 7

Using a spoon or small scoop, fill each mushroom cap generously with the cream cheese mixture.

Step 8

Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray to encourage browning.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Remove the mushrooms from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Step 11

Garnish with additional chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
