Stuffed Mushrooms

Stuffed mushrooms are always a great treat. We recently had a smorgasbord-style dinner with friends, and I made this easy vegetarian stuffed mushrooms recipe. I usually make sausage-stuffed mushrooms, but decided to try vegetarian this time, and I am glad I did. We loved the flavors of garlic, red pepper & cream cheese together.  These tasty mushrooms disappeared quickly, and everyone raved about them.

Stuffed Mushrooms

Ingredients:

• 15 large button mushrooms, wiped clean
• ¼ red bell pepper, diced
• ¼ yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 4 tbsp parmesan cheese, shredded (divided)
• 2 tbsp mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 2 tbsp fresh basil, finely chopped
• ½ block of cream cheese, softened to room temperature
• Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
• Olive oil, to taste
• 2 tbsp Italian-style bread crumbs

How to Make Stuffed Mushrooms:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil, then coat with cooking spray.

Wipe the mushrooms with a damp towel, then carefully remove the stems.

Put the mushroom stems, bell pepper, onion, and garlic in a food processor and mix until finely chopped.

Combine the mushroom mixture in a large bowl with 2 tablespoons of parmesan, mozzarella, basil, cream cheese, salt, and pepper. Taste and re-season if needed.

Brush the bottoms & sides of each mushroom with olive oil and place on the prepared baking sheet.

Divide the filling between the mushroom caps.

Sprinkle bread crumbs and remaining parmesan cheese on top of each mushroom.

Place into the oven to bake uncovered for 15-20 minutes.
