Ingredients

  • 20 baby bella or cremini mushrooms
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ medium onion finely diced
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened
  • ⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese reserve 1 tablespoon for topping
  • ⅓ cup chopped pecans reserve 1 tablespoon for topping
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley finely chopped (reserve a little for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Oven and Mushrooms

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Lightly grease a baking sheet with olive oil.
  • Remove the stems from the mushrooms. Finely chop the stems and set them aside.
  • Arrange the mushroom caps on the prepared baking sheet, stem side up.

Step 2: Cook the Mushroom Stems

  • In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
  • Add the chopped mushroom stems and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until most of the moisture evaporates.
  • Stir in the onion, garlic, salt, and pepper, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until the onion softens.
  • Transfer the cooked mixture to a mixing bowl and let it cool slightly.

Step 3: Prepare the Filling

  • In the mixing bowl with the cooled mushroom mixture, add the cream cheese, Parmesan cheese (reserving 1 tablespoon), parsley (reserving a small amount), and pecans (reserving 1 tablespoon).
  • Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well combined into a creamy filling.

Step 4: Stuff the Mushrooms

  • Spoon the prepared filling into the mushroom caps, generously mounding it on top.
  • Sprinkle the filled mushrooms with the reserved Parmesan cheese and chopped pecans for a golden, crunchy finish.

Step 5: Bake and Serve

  • Bake the stuffed mushrooms in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the mushrooms are tender.
  • Remove from the oven and garnish with the reserved parsley.
  • Serve warm and enjoy your savory stuffed mushrooms!
