Ingredients

• 16 pieces large white or cremini mushrooms
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.25 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup shredded mozzarella (optional for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Step 2

Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel and remove the stems. Set the caps aside and finely chop the stems.

Step 3

In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped mushroom stems and minced garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until the stems are softened and any moisture has evaporated. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, sautéed mushroom stems, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to create a creamy filling.

Step 5

Using a spoon or piping bag, fill each mushroom cap with the prepared filling, slightly mounding it on top. If using mozzarella, sprinkle some on top of each filled mushroom.

Step 6

Arrange the stuffed mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the tops are golden brown.

Step 8

Remove the mushrooms from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional chopped parsley if desired.

Step 9

Serve warm and enjoy your delicious stuffed mushrooms!
