Ingredients
Scale
Stuffed Mushrooms
- 20 large white button mushrooms, stems removed and finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/4 cup plain bread crumbs
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup shredded sharp white cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet. Clean the mushroom caps carefully and set them aside.
- Sauté Filling Base: In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the finely chopped mushroom stems, minced garlic, and chopped onion. Sauté for 4–5 minutes until the mixture is softened and fragrant.
- Add Seasonings and Bread Crumbs: Stir in the bread crumbs, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
- Mix in Cheeses and Herbs: Once cooled, combine the shredded sharp white cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan, and chopped fresh parsley with the sautéed mixture to create the filling.
- Stuff the Mushrooms: Spoon the filling into each mushroom cap, pressing down gently to pack it inside evenly.
- Bake: Arrange the stuffed mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is golden and bubbly.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm as a delightful appetizer.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to the filling for a slight kick.
- These stuffed mushrooms can be prepped ahead of time and baked just before serving, making them ideal for entertaining and parties.
