A quick and easy appetizer featuring white button mushrooms stuffed with a luscious herb-infused cream cheese filling, roasted to perfection for a crowd-pleasing treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 20 medium whole white button mushrooms, stems removed and finely chopped
  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup (25 g) grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Clean the mushrooms gently with a damp paper towel; avoid rinsing under water.
  3. Remove the stems from the mushrooms and finely chop them. Set the caps aside on your baking sheet, gill side up.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped mushroom stems and minced garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant. Let cool slightly.
  5. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sautéed stems and garlic, chopped rosemary and thyme, and half of the grated Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  6. Spoon or pipe the cream cheese mixture into each mushroom cap, mounding slightly over the edge.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan and optional breadcrumbs evenly over the stuffed mushrooms. Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil on top.
  8. Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 18-20 minutes until mushrooms are tender and tops are golden and bubbly.
  9. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes to let flavors meld and filling set slightly.
  10. Serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

[‘Do not rinse mushrooms under water; wipe with a damp cloth to avoid sogginess.’, ‘Softening cream cheese before mixing improves texture.’, ‘Sautéing mushroom stems and garlic intensifies flavor and prevents watery filling.’, ‘Use fresh herbs for best flavor; reduce dried herbs by half to avoid bitterness.’, ‘If mushrooms brown too quickly, lower oven temperature by 10-15°F or cover loosely with foil.’, ‘Assemble mushrooms a few hours ahead and refrigerate covered for convenience.’, ‘Reheat gently in a low oven to maintain creamy filling.’, ‘For dairy-free version, substitute cream cheese with plant-based alternative and Parmesan with nutritional yeast.’, ‘For gluten-free, omit breadcrumbs or use gluten-free crumbs.’]
