I make these stuffed mushrooms anytime I make pasta dishes like Porcupine Meatballs and Zoodles or Zesty Cheesy Chicken and Spaghetti. They also go great with steaks instead of the traditional mushrooms and onions. Or keep it simple, and make these as an appetizer by serving with a sliced baguette and drizzle with the rich melted butter.

Ingredients

These stuffed mushroom caps have-

  • Whole white mushrooms
  • A simple filling of cream cheese and seasonings
  • Butter and olive oil

How to make mushrooms with cream cheese filling step-by-step

Preheat the oven to375 degrees.

In a small bowl add a package of softened cream cheese. Sprinkle on top the garlic powder, salt and pepper, and dried parsley.

Use a knife to stir everything together.

For the mushrooms, use a lightly wet paper towel to remove any debris from the mushrooms.

Do not use a soaking rag or wash the mushrooms directly with water, this will make them soggy.

Remove the stems so that there is a well in the center of the mushrooms.

Use the knife to scoop the cream cheese mixture out of the bowl and add to the center of each mushroom.

Add the mushrooms to a small cast iron pan or a baking dish that’s been lightly brushed with olive oil.

Once the mushrooms have all been stuffed, put them into the oven for 15 minutes.

Turn off the heat and remove the cast iron pan from the oven.

Cut slices of butter and add to the pan around the mushrooms. Put back into the oven to let the butter melt for another 3-4 minutes.

Tips & Variations

  • After adding the butter to the pan, make sure to turn off the oven heat to make sure that the butter doesn’t burn. You just want the butter to melt.
  • Add cooked hot Italian sausage to the cream cheese filling for even more flavor
  • Serve with this homemade French bread from Lil’ Luna for soaking up the butter

Serve any way you wish either as an appetizer or side dish. And here you are……

      Looks good oh, I haven’t tried it but I will in the future. We eat a lot of mushrooms at our house because they were so good for you. I never stuff them with cream cheese before. I guess there are a lot of things you can use oh, thanks for the idea.

            Yes, this recipe works well with baby portobello mushroom too!

    Why not chop the mushroom stems and add them to the cream cheese?

      While I do not use that step for this recipe, I don’t see how it could hurt, and then you don’t waste the stems.

    I added the stems and about 2 tbsp finely diced red onion to the recipe and it was great!
