Total Time: 40 mins
Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 12 large mushrooms, stems removed
- 1/2 cup cream cheese
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure that your mushrooms cook evenly and thoroughly.
- Prepare the mushrooms by gently cleaning them with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt. Remove the stems carefully and set them aside for later use.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, and parmesan cheese. Use a fork or a spatula to blend them until smooth and well combined.
- Add the minced garlic and chopped parsley to the cheese mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Using a spoon, generously fill each mushroom cap with the cheese mixture. Make sure to pack the filling in well, as it will hold its shape during baking.
- Arrange the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased to prevent sticking.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the cheese is bubbly and golden on top.
- Once done, remove the mushrooms from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help the filling set slightly.
- Serve the triple cheese stuffed mushrooms warm as an appetizer or a side dish. Enjoy!
Tips
- Choose large, firm mushrooms with deep caps to hold maximum cheese filling.
- Clean mushrooms gently with a damp paper towel instead of washing to prevent excess moisture.
- Allow cream cheese to soften at room temperature for easier mixing.
- Don't overfill mushrooms - aim for a neat, slightly mounded top.
- Use fresh garlic for the most robust flavor.
- For extra crispiness, you can sprinkle some breadcrumbs on top before baking.
- Let mushrooms rest for 2-3 minutes after baking to allow the cheese to set slightly.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and melted cheese experience.
