Ingredients

24 large white mushrooms

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup breadcrumbs

2 tbsp unsalted butter

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 tbsp finely chopped onion

2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

1 tsp Italian seasoning

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

2 tbsp extra Parmesan cheese for topping

1 tbsp chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and lightly grease a baking dish or baking sheet.

2. Wipe the mushrooms clean with a damp paper towel and remove the stems. Finely chop the stems and set the caps aside.

3. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped mushroom stems, onion, and garlic, then cook for 4 to 5 minutes until softened and fragrant.

4. In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, breadcrumbs, parsley, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

5. Stir the cooked mushroom stem mixture into the cheese mixture until well combined.

6. Spoon the filling into each mushroom cap, mounding the tops slightly.

7. Arrange the stuffed mushrooms on the prepared baking dish and sprinkle with the extra Parmesan cheese.

8. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, until the mushrooms are tender and the tops are golden.

9. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.

Notes

Use mushrooms that are similar in size so they bake evenly.

For a more golden top, broil the mushrooms for 1 to 2 minutes at the end of baking.
