Ingredients

20 large white or cremini mushrooms, stems removed
4 oz cream cheese, softened
½ cup grated parmesan cheese
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ cup breadcrumbs (optional for crunch)
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon garlic powder (or 2 minced garlic cloves)
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat)

Directions

Preheat Oven – Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the Mushrooms – Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth and remove the stems. Finely chop the stems and set them aside.
Sauté the Stems – In a pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped mushroom stems, garlic, and red pepper flakes (if using). Sauté for 3-4 minutes until soft.
Make the Filling – In a bowl, combine sautéed stems, cream cheese, parmesan, mozzarella, breadcrumbs, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Stuff the Mushrooms – Spoon the mixture into each mushroom cap, pressing slightly to pack.
Bake – Arrange mushrooms on a baking sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and bubbly.
Serve Hot – Garnish with extra parsley and serve warm.

Notes

Make them gluten-free by skipping breadcrumbs or using gluten-free alternatives.
For a meaty twist, add cooked sausage or bacon bits to the filling.
