Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound white button mushrooms, stems removed
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 4 ounces Boursin cheese (or substitute with 4 oz extra cream cheese plus 1 tsp dried herbs)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs (optional, for topping)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Wipe the mushroom caps clean with a damp cloth. Gently remove the stems and finely chop the stems; set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, Boursin cheese, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and the chopped mushroom stems. Mix until the filling is uniform. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Spoon the cheese mixture evenly into the mushroom caps, mounding the filling slightly.
  5. Place the filled mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the tops lightly with olive oil. If using, sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the filling.
  6. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is golden brown and bubbly.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving warm.

Notes

  • For a meatier filling, mix 1/2 cup of cooked, crumbled Italian sausage or finely chopped cooked crab meat into the cheese mixture.
  • You can prepare the stuffed mushrooms up to 4 hours ahead of time. Cover them and refrigerate before baking. Add 5 minutes to the baking time if baking directly from the refrigerator.
  • If you prefer a richer topping, substitute the breadcrumbs with crushed Ritz crackers mixed with a little melted butter.
