Introduction

Cream Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms are a flavorful and elegant appetizer perfect for any occasion. These tender mushrooms filled with a creamy herb mixture bake to golden perfection, making them an irresistible bite-sized treat.

The image shows a close-up view of stuffed mushrooms arranged closely on a baking tray lined with light brown parchment paper, placed on a surface with a white marbled texture. Each mushroom has a dark brown cap base that is filled with a thick, golden-browned cheese mixture on top, which appears creamy and slightly textured with small browning spots. Small green herb leaves are scattered over the cheese filling and on the parchment paper, adding a touch of color. The mushrooms fill the frame, emphasizing their rough, textured caps and creamy, bubbly cheese tops. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 lb cremini mushrooms (stems removed)
8 oz cream cheese (softened)
1/2 cup parmesan cheese (shredded)
2 garlic cloves (minced)
1 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon rosemary
1 teaspoon sage
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2: In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded parmesan, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, sage, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth and evenly blended.
Step 3: Spoon a generous amount of the cream cheese mixture into the cavity of each mushroom cap.
Step 4: Arrange the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the mushrooms are tender.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, add finely chopped cooked bacon or spinach to the cream cheese mixture.
Use button mushrooms if cremini are unavailable; just adjust baking time as needed.
Sprinkle extra parmesan on top before baking for a cheesy crust.

Storage

Store leftover stuffed mushrooms in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes to maintain texture and flavor. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.

How to Serve

The image shows a dark round tray lined with brown parchment paper, holding about 18 stuffed mushrooms arranged closely together. Each mushroom has a dark brown cap as the base layer, topped with a creamy off-white filling that is slightly golden and browned on top, giving a textured, bubbly look. Small green herb leaves, likely thyme, are scattered over the mushrooms and a few sprigs rest on the parchment paper as decoration. The tray sits on a soft white cloth on a white marbled surface. Next to it is a white plate with an ornate edge and a vintage silver fork resting on it, and in the top left corner, there is a clear wine glass. In the top right, there are two stacked white plates with a subtle gold pattern along the edge. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I prepare the stuffed mushrooms ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the mushrooms a few hours before baking. Keep them covered in the refrigerator until ready to bake.

Can I use a different cheese instead of cream cheese?

While cream cheese provides a creamy texture, you can substitute with mascarpone or ricotta for a milder flavor, although the consistency will be slightly different.
