Stuffed Mushrooms Recipe

Clean the Mushrooms

Gently wipe the mushrooms with a damp cloth to remove any dirt. Do not wash them under water as mushrooms absorb moisture.

Remove Stems

Carefully remove the stems from the mushrooms using a small knife or your fingers. Set the stems aside for the stuffing mixture.

Brush with Olive Oil

Place the cleaned mushrooms on a baking sheet. Brush the tops and insides of the mushrooms with olive oil to enhance flavor and prevent sticking while baking.

Prepare the Stuffing

In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Chop the Stems

Finely chop the reserved mushroom stems and add them to the stuffing mixture. Stir to incorporate.

Stuff the Mushrooms

Using a small spoon, fill each mushroom cap generously with the stuffing mixture, pressing it down slightly to ensure it holds.

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Bake the Stuffed Mushrooms

Place the stuffed mushrooms in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the stuffing is golden brown.

Serve

Remove the mushrooms from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious stuffed mushrooms!
