Ingredients

• 15 pieces large white or cremini mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 cups Italian breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.5 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1 spray cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel. Remove the stems and set the caps aside. Finely chop the stems.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped mushroom stems and minced garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed mushroom stems and garlic, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, cream cheese, parsley, basil, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Step 5

Stuff each mushroom cap with the prepared filling, pressing it in gently to ensure it holds. Arrange the stuffed mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6

Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the stuffed mushrooms for added moisture and flavor.

Step 7

Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top of each stuffed mushroom for a gooey, cheesy finish.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the mushrooms cool slightly before serving. Garnish with more fresh parsley if desired.

Step 10

Serve warm as an appetizer or alongside your favorite Italian dishes. Enjoy!
