Ingredients

Scale

For the Mushrooms

  • 1 1/2 lbs. baby Bella mushrooms
  • Cooking spray (for pan)

For the Stuffing

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons green onions, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup plain breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (plus more for topping)
  • 4 oz. cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (dried herbs)
  • 2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for baking the stuffed mushrooms.
  2. Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray it with cooking spray or oil to prevent sticking and ease cleanup. Set it aside.
  3. Clean and Prep Mushrooms: Clean the baby Bella mushrooms gently with a damp cloth. Remove the stems carefully and roughly chop the stems. Place the mushroom caps onto the prepared baking sheet, cavity side up.
  4. Make the Stuffing: In a bowl, combine the chopped mushroom stems, butter, diced green onions, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, grated Parmesan, softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, Italian seasoning, and freshly chopped parsley. Stir everything until well incorporated and the mixture is creamy and consistent.
  5. Stuff the Mushroom Caps: Spoon the prepared stuffing mixture evenly into the cavity of each mushroom cap, pressing gently to fill them well. Optionally, sprinkle a little extra Parmesan on top for a cheesy crust.
  6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the stuffing is golden brown and bubbly.

Notes

  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easy mixing.
  • You can substitute baby Bella mushrooms with white button mushrooms, but baby Bellas have a firmer texture and richer flavor.
  • For an extra crispy top, broil the mushrooms for 1-2 minutes after baking, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
  • These stuffed mushrooms can be prepared ahead of time and baked just before serving.
  • To make it vegetarian-friendly, ensure mayonnaise is egg-free or use a vegan alternative.
