Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound white button mushrooms, stems removed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small shallot, minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a baking sheet.
- Wipe the mushroom caps clean with a damp cloth. Gently remove the stems and finely chop the stems.
- Heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped mushroom stems and minced shallot. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper.
- Mix in the cooked stem and shallot mixture until everything is well combined.
- Spoon the savory mushroom filling evenly into the mushroom caps, mounding it slightly.
- Place the filled mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the filling is golden brown and the mushrooms are tender.
- Serve immediately as a baked mushroom cap appetizer.
Notes
- To prepare ahead, fill the mushroom caps up to 4 hours in advance. Cover them loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Add 5 minutes to the baking time if baking directly from the refrigerator.
- For a richer flavor, substitute 2 ounces of the cream cheese with 2 ounces of crumbled cooked sausage or crab meat.
