Stuffed Mushrooms

Ingredients:

• 20 large white mushrooms, stems removed
• 4 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Cooking Instructions

1. Prepare the Mushrooms: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Clean the mushrooms and remove the stems, setting the caps aside. Finely chop the mushroom stems.
2. Sauté the Filling: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped mushroom stems and garlic, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
3. Mix the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the sautéed mushroom stems, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
4. Stuff the Mushrooms: Spoon the filling into the mushroom caps, pressing it down slightly to ensure they’re fully stuffed.
5. Bake: Arrange the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes until the tops are golden and the mushrooms are tender.
6. Serve: Garnish with extra parsley and serve warm as a delicious appetizer.
