Print Recipe

A quick and comforting appetizer featuring large mushroom caps filled with a creamy garlic herb cheese mixture, perfect for last-minute dinners or entertaining guests.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 20 large button or baby bella mushroom caps, cleaned and stemmed
  • 8 ounces garlic herb cheese spread, room temperature
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (about 25g)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: pinch of smoked paprika or red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Gently wipe each mushroom cap with a damp paper towel to remove dirt. Remove stems carefully and set aside (optional: chop and add to filling).
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine garlic herb cheese spread with minced garlic and chopped parsley. Mix until smooth and creamy. Fold in chopped mushroom stems if using.
  4. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and optional smoked paprika or red pepper flakes. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  5. Using a spoon or small scoop, generously fill each mushroom cap with the cheese mixture.
  6. Place filled mushroom caps on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Drizzle lightly with olive oil.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes until cheese is golden and bubbly and mushrooms are tender but not collapsed.
  8. Let cool slightly for 5 minutes before serving to allow filling to set and flavors to intensify.

Notes

Use firm, large mushroom caps for best results. Wipe mushrooms clean instead of washing to avoid sogginess. Room temperature cheese blends more smoothly. Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet for even roasting. If filling is too runny, chill for 10 minutes before stuffing. Can be prepared ahead and refrigerated up to 24 hours before baking.
