# What You'll Need:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
12 large white or cremini mushroom caps
02 -
120 ml fresh breadcrumbs
03 -
60 g grated Parmesan cheese
04 -
115 g cream cheese, softened
05 -
2 cloves garlic, finely minced

15 ml fresh parsley, chopped
07 -
30 ml extra virgin olive oil

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 -
Gently wash the mushrooms, pat dry, and remove the stems. Slightly hollow the caps, if needed, to create space for the filling. Preheat oven to 190°C. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
02 -
In a bowl, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, cream cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Mix until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended. Optionally, finely chop and sauté the mushroom stems, then fold them into the filling for added flavor.
03 -
Using a small spoon, fill each mushroom cap with the prepared mixture. Gently press the filling in and level it with the rim of the cap. For a crisp topping, scatter additional breadcrumbs or Parmesan over each filled mushroom.
04 -
Place stuffed mushrooms onto the lined tray. Drizzle with a little olive oil for enhanced browning. Bake for 20–25 minutes until the tops are golden and the filling is hot.
05 -
Let mushrooms cool briefly before plating. Garnish with extra chopped parsley. Serve warm for optimal flavor and texture.
