Ingredients

• 12 Whole fresh cremini mushrooms
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) vegetable oil
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) garlic, minced
• 8 Ounces (oz) package cream cheese, softened
• 0.5 Cups Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.25 Teaspoon (tsp) black pepper, ground
• 0.25 Teaspoon (tsp) onion powder
• 0.25 Teaspoon (tsp) cayenne pepper
• 0.25 Cups panko breadcrumbs (optional for topping)
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) butter, melted (optional for topping)
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) fresh parsley, minced (for garnish)

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet with cooking spray.
2. Gently clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel. Carefully remove the stems and chop them finely, discarding any tough ends.
3. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped mushroom stems. Sauté until the moisture evaporates and the garlic is fragrant, taking care not to burn it. Remove from heat and let cool.
4. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooled garlic and mushroom mixture with the softened cream cheese, grated Parmesan, black pepper, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Mix until well combined and smooth.
5. Using a teaspoon, generously fill each mushroom cap with the cream cheese mixture. Arrange the filled caps on the prepared baking sheet.
6. For an added crunch, mix the panko breadcrumbs with melted butter and sprinkle over the stuffed mushrooms.
7. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is hot and slightly golden.
8. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with freshly minced parsley before serving. Enjoy your savory stuffed mushrooms warm!
