Stuffed Mushrooms with Cheese

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Clean the 12 large mushrooms and remove the stems; finely chop the stems and set aside.

Step 2

In a bowl, mix the 4 oz cream cheese, 1 cup mozzarella, 1/4 cup parmesan, 2 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp chopped parsley, and 1/2 tsp salt until well combined.

Step 3

Heat the 2 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped mushroom stems and cook until soft and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Let cool slightly.

Step 4

Stir the cooked stems into the cheese mixture. Spoon the filling into the mushroom caps, mounding it slightly.

Step 5

Place the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet. Bake until the mushrooms are tender and the cheese is golden and bubbly, about 20 minutes.

Step 6

Let rest for 2 minutes, then garnish with extra parsley if desired. Serve warm.
