Easy Stuffed Mushrooms Recipe
Ingredients:
8 oz package of fresh, whole mushrooms
8 oz chive and onion cream cheese spread container (room temperature)
Parmesan or Romano cheese, fresh grated (to taste)
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees and pull out a glass baking dish. You can make these in a metal dish as well, but you’ll likely be more successful with glass if you have it. Wash your mushrooms and remove the stems. Place your room temperature cream cheese in a bowl and stir until creamy (should only take a few stirs, you just want to loosen it up from the molded form).

Using a regular spoon, take a spoonful of cream cheese and fill the mushroom where the stem was. Place them cap-side down in your glass baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes. At right about the 17 minute mark, take your mushrooms out and sprinkle the tops with your grated cheese. Bake for the last five minutes or until the tops have begun to brown. Serve warm (not necessarily hot) for your best results. Enjoy!
