Ingredients

• 16 pieces Button mushrooms
• 4 ounces Cream cheese
• 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.25 cups Panko breadcrumbs

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Wash the button mushrooms and gently remove the stems. Reserve the stems for later use and place the mushroom caps on the prepared baking sheet, cavity side up.

Step 3

Finely chop the reserved mushroom stems, garlic, and parsley.

Step 4

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 and fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 5

In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, sautéed mushroom mixture, parsley, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and fully incorporated.

Step 6

Fill each mushroom cap with the cream cheese mixture, packing it in tightly and slightly mounding it on top.

Step 7

Sprinkle a small amount of panko breadcrumbs over the stuffed mushrooms for added crunch.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy your Happy Hour Mushrooms!
