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.
Metal baking dishes may leave a bit of a different flavor and over-brown your mushrooms on the bottom, so be aware of that when you make your choice!
Wash your mushrooms and remove the stems. The stems can be put in the garbage or utilized for another recipe at another time.
Place your room temperature cream cheese in a bowl and stir until it is creamy. This should only take a few stirs – you just want to loosen it up from the molded form.
Using a teaspoon, take a spoonful of cream cheese and fill the mushroom where the stem was. Place them cap-side down in your baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes.
At 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!
