Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Skillet
  • Mixing bowl
  • Spoon
  • Parchment paper

Ingredients
  

  • 20 white or cremini mushrooms, cleaned and stems removed
  • 2 tbsp butter, divided
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small shallot, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh sage, finely chopped (or ½ tsp dried)
  • ½ cup cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ¼ cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko)
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Clean mushrooms with a damp towel and remove stems. Place mushroom caps on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush with olive oil.
  • Chop the mushroom stems. Sauté shallots and garlic in 1 tbsp butter until soft, then add chopped stems and sage. Cook until moisture evaporates. Season and let cool slightly.
  • In a bowl, mix the sautéed filling with cream cheese, Parmesan, and half the breadcrumbs. Blend until creamy and thick. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  • Fill each mushroom cap with the cheese mixture. Sprinkle with remaining breadcrumbs. Drizzle with melted butter.
  • Bake for 20–25 minutes, until tops are golden and mushrooms are tender. Let cool slightly before serving.
  • Transfer to a platter and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve warm.

Notes

Make ahead by stuffing the mushrooms a day early and refrigerating. For variety, try adding sausage or crab, using Gruyère instead of Parmesan, or swapping in vegan cheese for a plant-based version. Don’t overcrowd the mushrooms on the baking tray to ensure they brown evenly.
