A reliable recipe for savory, bite-sized baked mushroom caps perfect for appetizers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb white button mushrooms, stems removed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small shallot, finely minced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a baking sheet.
  2. Wipe the mushroom caps clean with a damp cloth. Gently remove the stems and finely chop the stems.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the minced shallot and chopped mushroom stems. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant. Remove the skillet from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
  5. In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, and thyme. Mix well.
  6. Stir the cooked shallot and stem mixture into the cheese mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Mix until everything is evenly combined.
  7. Spoon the savory mushroom filling evenly into the mushroom caps, mounding it slightly.
  8. Place the filled mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the filling is golden brown and the mushrooms are tender.
  10. Serve immediately as a party appetizer.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, substitute 2 ounces of the cream cheese with 2 ounces of cooked, crumbled sausage or crab meat.
  • If you want a crispier top, switch the oven to broil for the last 1 to 2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
  • You can prepare the filling up to one day ahead. Store the filling covered in the refrigerator and stuff the mushrooms just before baking.
