Ingredients

Scale
  • 500 g (1 lb) white or cremini mushrooms, stems removed
  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup (50 g) grated Parmesan cheese
  • ¼ cup (25 g) shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (plus extra for garnish)
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for brushing)
  • Panko breadcrumbs (optional, for topping)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven:

  • Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

2. Prepare the mushrooms:

  • Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel and remove the stems (set aside if you want to chop and add them to the filling).
  • Lightly brush the mushroom caps with olive oil and place them hollow-side up on the baking sheet.

3. Make the filling:

  • In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese, Parmesan, mozzarella, garlic, parsley, onion powder, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  • Optional: Finely chop the mushroom stems and stir them into the filling for added texture and flavor.

4. Stuff the mushrooms:

  • Spoon the cream cheese mixture into each mushroom cap, filling them generously.
  • Sprinkle with panko breadcrumbs for a crunchy topping, if desired.

5. Bake:

  • Bake for 20-25 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and the tops are golden and bubbly.
  • Broil for an additional 1-2 minutes for extra crispiness.

6. Serve:

  • Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm as an appetizer or side dish.

Notes

  • Add crumbled bacon or cooked sausage to the filling for extra flavor.
  • Swap Parmesan for Asiago or Gruyère for a different cheesy twist.
  • Use vegan cream cheese and cheese alternatives for a dairy-free version.
