Ingredients

Scale

Mushrooms

  • 16 oz fresh button or cremini mushrooms, cleaned and stems removed

Cheeses

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Aromatics and Herbs

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onions or shallots
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves

Others

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mushrooms: Clean your mushrooms thoroughly and carefully remove the stems to create cavities for the filling. Finely chop the stems as they will be used in the filling.
  2. Sauté Aromatics and Mushroom Stems: Heat olive oil or butter in a pan over medium heat. Sauté chopped onions or shallots with minced garlic until fragrant and golden. Add the chopped mushroom stems and cook until tender and flavorful.
  3. Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, grated Parmesan, fresh parsley, thyme, sautéed mushroom stems, onions, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper, then mix until smooth and creamy.
  4. Stuff the Mushrooms: Fill each mushroom cap generously with the prepared cheese mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the filling stays in place.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Arrange the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and bubbly.

Notes

  • Choose firm mushrooms like button or cremini for better filling hold and texture.
  • Do not overfill the mushroom caps; leave space on top for the cheese to brown nicely.
  • Prepare the filling a day ahead to let flavors meld for richer taste.
  • Use room temperature cream cheese to ease mixing and smoother texture.
  • Add fresh herbs as garnish just before serving to maintain freshness and color.
