A creamy, savory Southern appetizer featuring roasted mushrooms stuffed with a rich blend of cream cheese, sour cream, sharp cheddar, and Parmesan, perfect for Christmas parties and cozy gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 medium fresh cremini or button mushrooms, stems removed and saved
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Clean the mushroom caps gently with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt. Remove the stems carefully and chop them finely. Set the caps aside on the baking sheet, gill side up. Lightly brush them with melted butter or olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Roast for about 10 minutes until slightly softened.
  3. While the mushrooms roast, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped mushroom stems. Cook for about 5 minutes until softened and fragrant, stirring occasionally. Add Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, shredded cheddar, grated Parmesan, and sliced green onions. Add the sautéed mushroom stem mixture. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
  5. Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, fill each roasted mushroom cap generously with the creamy mixture. Be careful not to overstuff.
  6. Return the filled mushrooms to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes at 375°F (190°C) until cheese is melted and bubbly and tops are lightly golden.
  7. Remove from oven and sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

If mushrooms release too much water during roasting, blot dry before stuffing to keep dip creamy. Soften cream cheese beforehand for smooth mixing. Use a small cookie scoop for even stuffing. Serve warm for best flavor. Can prepare filling and stuff mushrooms ahead, refrigerate, and bake before serving. For dairy-free, substitute cream cheese and sour cream with plant-based alternatives and use olive oil instead of butter.
