Ingredients
Scale
Mushrooms
- 1 lb cremini mushrooms (stems removed)
Filling
- 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
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s at the perfect temperature for baking the mushrooms.
- Prepare Filling: In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded parmesan cheese, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, sage, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well blended.
- Stuff Mushrooms: Using a spoon, scoop a generous amount of the cream cheese filling into the cavity of each cremini mushroom cap, ensuring each mushroom is fully stuffed.
- Bake Mushrooms: Arrange the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet and place them in the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the filling is golden brown and bubbly, and the mushrooms are tender.
Notes
- You can substitute cremini mushrooms with white button mushrooms if preferred.
- For a crispy topping, sprinkle additional parmesan cheese on top before baking.
- These stuffed mushrooms can be prepared ahead and baked just before serving.
- For extra flavor, consider adding chopped fresh parsley as a garnish after baking.
- To keep the mushrooms warm, cover with foil while baking other batches.
