How to Make Creamy Garlic and Herb Cheese Filled Roasted Mushrooms

Let’s Make It Together:

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Clean the mushrooms and carefully remove the stems.
In a bowl, mix the creamy garlic and herb cheese with chopped parsley, salt, and pepper until well blended.
Stuff each mushroom cap generously with the creamy cheese mixture.
In another bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and olive oil until the mixture is coated and crumbly.

Arrange the mushrooms on a baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced out nicely. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the mushrooms are tender and the topping is golden brown.

Sun-Dried Tomato Delight: Mix in finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes to bring a rich, tangy flavor to the filling.

Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips

Make-Ahead Option: Prep your mushrooms ahead of time and store them covered in the refrigerator until you’re ready to bake them. This is a fantastic way to save time when entertaining guests.
Ingredient Swaps: If you don’t have panko breadcrumbs, regular breadcrumbs work just as well, although panko adds an extra crispiness.
Perfectly Clean Mushrooms: Instead of washing mushrooms, gently wipe them with a damp cloth to clean them and avoid them soaking up too much water.
Storage Suggestions: Leftover stuffed mushrooms can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the oven for best results!
