These cheesy stuffed mushrooms are bubbling, golden, and perfectly savory, making them the ultimate crowd-pleaser for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Button or Cremini Mushrooms (medium-sized, with intact caps)
  • 4 oz (115 g) softened cream cheese
  • 1/3 cup (30 g) grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp (15 g) breadcrumbs (Panko or regular)
  • 2 tbsp (8 g) chopped fresh parsley
  • Olive oil for drizzling
  • Salt & Pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Clean the mushrooms: Gently wipe each mushroom with a damp paper towel to remove dirt. Remove the stems carefully and set them aside. You can chop the stems finely to add to the filling or discard them.
  3. Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, and chopped fresh parsley. Mix until fully combined.
  4. Season the filling: Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. If you’re using optional ingredients like bacon or mozzarella, fold them in at this step.
  5. Stuff the mushrooms: Using a small spoon or scoop, fill each mushroom cap generously with the cheese mixture, packing it tightly but not overflowing.
  6. Drizzle the mushrooms: Arrange the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased. Drizzle them with olive oil or brush it on for an even coating.
  7. Bake: Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the tops are lightly golden.
  8. Cool slightly: Let the mushrooms cool for 3-5 minutes before serving.

Notes

[‘Avoid rinsing mushrooms under running water as they can absorb moisture and become soggy.’, ‘Pack the filling tightly to keep the mixture inside the mushroom caps while baking.’, ‘Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best flavor and melting.’, ‘Start checking the mushrooms at the 18-minute mark to avoid overbaking.’, ‘Sprinkle extra breadcrumbs on top before baking for a golden, crunchy finish.’]
