Stuffed Mushrooms
- 12 mushrooms, stems removed
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp breadcrumbs
- 1 garlic clove, minced
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the stuffed mushrooms.
- Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, and breadcrumbs. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated into a creamy filling.
- Stuff the Mushrooms: Gently spoon the cream cheese mixture into each mushroom cap, filling them generously but ensuring the filling stays within the mushroom cavity.
- Bake the Mushrooms: Arrange the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is golden brown and bubbly.
- Serve: Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these stuffed mushrooms warm as a savory appetizer or side dish.
Notes
- You can substitute cream cheese with a lighter soft cheese for a lower-fat version.
- Adding chopped fresh herbs like parsley or thyme enhances flavor.
- For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free breadcrumbs.
- Ensure mushrooms are dry before stuffing to prevent sogginess.
