My Favorite Stuffed Mushrooms Recipes

EASY CHEESE STUFFED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375° degrees Fahrenheit.
• Using a damp paper towel, brush all dirt from the mushrooms. Remove the mushroom stems. Cut away and discard any hard bits of the stems, then finely mince them.
• Add the mushroom caps to a rimmed baking sheet or sizeable oven-safe skillet that fits the mushrooms in one layer. Toss them with a tablespoon of olive oil and lightly season with fresh ground black pepper. Arrange them cavity-side-up so that they are ready to be stuffed.
• Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, chopped mushroom stalks, and a pinch of salt. Cook, occasionally stirring, until the onions smell sweet and are soft, about 5 minutes.
• Add the garlic and herbs, then cook for another minute or until the garlic is fragrant. Before the garlic begins to brown, scrape the mixture into a bowl and set it aside to cool.
• Add the breadcrumbs to the same skillet. Place it over medium-low heat, and then cook, stirring, until they are lightly toasted; about one minute.
• Stir the cheese into the onions and garlic mixture, then divide the filling between the mushroom caps. Sprinkle the toasted breadcrumbs on top.
• Bake the mushrooms until the cheese has melted and the mushrooms have softened; 15 to 20 minutes.
• Serve with chopped fresh herbs and freshly ground black pepper on top.

MOUTH-WATERING STUFFED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Clean mushrooms with a damp paper towel. Carefully break off stems. Chop stems extremely fine, discarding tough end of stems.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and chopped mushroom stems to the skillet. Fry until any moisture has disappeared, taking care not to burn garlic. Set aside to cool.
• When garlic and mushroom mixture is no longer hot, stir in cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, black pepper, onion powder and cayenne pepper. Mixture should be very thick. Using a little spoon, fill each mushroom cap with a generous amount of stuffing. Arrange the mushroom caps on prepared cookie sheet.
• Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the mushrooms are piping hot and liquid starts to form under caps.
