A reliable recipe for baked mushroom caps filled with a flavorful, savory stuffing, perfect as a party appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb large white or cremini mushrooms
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small shallot, minced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a baking sheet.
  2. Gently remove the stems from the mushroom caps. Finely chop the stems and set aside.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the minced shallot and chopped mushroom stems. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  5. Stir the cooked shallot and mushroom stem mixture into the cheese mixture until fully combined.
  6. Arrange the mushroom caps cavity-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Spoon the savory mushroom filling evenly into each mushroom cap, mounding it slightly.
  8. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is lightly golden brown.
  9. For a crispier top, you can broil for the last 1-2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
  10. Serve warm as an easy stuffed mushrooms appetizer.

Notes

  • You can prepare the filling up to one day ahead. Store it covered in the refrigerator and stuff the mushrooms just before baking.
  • If you prefer a meatier filling, brown 4 ounces of cooked sausage or finely chopped crab meat and mix it into the filling mixture.
  • Wipe the mushroom caps clean with a damp cloth instead of washing them to prevent them from absorbing excess water.
