Description
These Cream Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms are an easy, crowd-pleasing appetizer made with creamy cheese, garlic, and buttery breadcrumbs. Perfect for holidays, parties, or a savory snack, they deliver rich flavor in every bite with minimal effort.
Ingredients
16 medium mushroom caps
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 green onions, finely chopped (plus more for garnish)
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Clean mushrooms with a damp paper towel and remove stems. Set caps aside, finely chop stems if using in filling.
3. In a bowl, mix cream cheese, Parmesan, garlic, green onions, salt, pepper, and chopped mushroom stems (optional). Stir until smooth.
4. Spoon or pipe the filling into each mushroom cap, forming a small mound.
5. In a small skillet, melt butter and stir in breadcrumbs until golden and toasted. Top each mushroom with a spoonful of the breadcrumb mixture.
6. Bake for 18–20 minutes until mushrooms are tender and tops are crisp and golden.
7. Garnish with additional chopped green onions. Serve warm.
Notes
For the best flavor and texture, use full-fat cream cheese at room temperature.
Add the breadcrumbs right before baking to keep them crispy.
To spice it up, mix in crushed red pepper or finely chopped jalapeños to the filling.
