Ingredients
Scale
24 ounces cremini mushrooms, stems removed and reserved
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Clean the mushroom caps and pat them dry. Finely chop the reserved mushroom stems.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and mushroom stems. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir in the cooked onion and mushroom stem mixture.
Spoon the filling evenly into the mushroom caps.
Place the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is golden brown.
Serve hot.
Notes
For a crispier topping, you can broil the mushrooms for the last 1-2 minutes of baking, watching them closely to prevent burning.
You can prepare the filling ahead of time and refrigerate it. Stuff the mushrooms just before baking.
Add cooked crumbled sausage or crab meat to the filling for a heartier appetizer.
