Baked Mushrooms with Cheese

Ingredients:

• 16 oz (450 g) large mushrooms (button or cremini)
• 4 oz (115 g) cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup (50 g) shredded mozzarella cheese (or your preferred cheese)
• 1/4 cup (25 g) grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1/4 cup (60 ml) breadcrumbs (optional, for topping)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Prepare the Mushrooms:

   • Gently clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt.
   • Remove the stems from the mushrooms and finely chop them. Set the caps aside.

3. Make the Filling:

   • In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped mushroom stems, cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is combined.

4. Stuff the Mushrooms:

   • Drizzle olive oil on a baking dish.
   • Spoon the cheese mixture into each mushroom cap, packing it in generously.

5. Optional Topping:

   • If you’d like a crunchy topping, mix the breadcrumbs with a little olive oil and sprinkle over the stuffed mushrooms.

6. Bake:

   • Arrange the stuffed mushrooms in the baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the mushrooms are tender.

7. Serve:

   • Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with additional parsley if desired. Serve warm as an appetizer or side dish.
