Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 8 large mushroom caps firm and fresh
  • 4 cloves garlic minced finely
  • 4 oz cream cheese full-fat, softened
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs toasted until golden
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for roasting and mixing
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest brightens the flavor
  • to taste salt and pepper

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking sheet
  • small spoon
  • Sharp knife
  • Mixing bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment or lightly greased.
  2. Gently clean the mushroom caps with a damp cloth, then carefully remove the stems and set them aside for the stuffing.
  3. Finely chop the mushroom stems and set aside. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped stems, minced garlic, chopped parsley, lemon zest, and toasted breadcrumbs.
  4. Add the softened cream cheese and a splash of olive oil to the bowl, then season with salt and pepper. Mix everything until well combined and creamy.
  5. Using a small spoon, generously stuff each mushroom cap with the prepared mixture, pressing gently to pack in the flavors.
  6. Arrange the stuffed mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet, cap-side up, and drizzle lightly with olive oil for a shiny, crisp top.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and bubbling, and the mushrooms are tender.
  8. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes—this helps the filling set and prevents spilling.
  9. Garnish with extra chopped parsley if desired, then serve warm and enjoy the aromatic, crispy-topped stuffed mushrooms.
