Garlic Cream Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms
Ingredients
  • cooking spray
  • 12 whole fresh mushrooms, tough ends trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the desired temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit, or equivalently, 175 degrees Celsius.
2
Next, prepare your baking sheet by spraying it with a non-stick cooking spray to prevent food from sticking.
3
To begin preparing the mushrooms, gently wash them with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt or debris.
4
Then, carefully separate the stems from the caps of each mushroom by gently prying them apart.
5
Chop the mushroom stems into small pieces and set the caps aside for later use.
6
In a large skillet, heat some oil over medium heat. Fry the chopped mushroom stems and minced garlic until all excess moisture has evaporated, taking care not to overcook the garlic, which should take around 3-5 minutes.
7
To allow the mixture to cool down, transfer it to a bowl and let it sit for about 10 minutes.
8
In the cooled mushroom mixture, combine cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, black pepper, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Stir until the mixture becomes thick and well combined.
9
Using a small spoon, fill each mushroom cap with an adequate amount of the prepared stuffing mixture.
10
Arrange the stuffed mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, leaving enough space between each cap.
11
Finally, bake the stuffed mushrooms in the preheated oven until they are hot and a liquid forms under each cap, which should take around 20 minutes.
