Ingredients
Scale
16 large white mushrooms, stems removed and cleaned
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup breadcrumbs (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or dish.
In a bowl, mix cream cheese, Parmesan, mozzarella, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Fill each mushroom cap with a generous spoonful of the cheese mixture.
Sprinkle breadcrumbs on top if desired, and place mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle with olive oil.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until mushrooms are tender and tops are golden brown.
Garnish with extra parsley and serve warm.
Notes
Use room temperature cream cheese for easier mixing.
Add chopped cooked bacon or sausage to the filling for extra flavor.
Breadcrumb topping adds a nice crunch but can be skipped for a gluten-free version.
These can be assembled ahead and baked just before serving.
