Ingredients

  • 12 large fresh mushrooms
  • 1/4 c. grated Parmesan cheese
  • 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp. minced garlic
  • 1/2 Tbsp. parsley
  • 1/4 tsp. black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp. onion powder

Method

  • Preheat the broiler with the rack on the top shelf of the oven.
  • Spray a cookie sheet with nonstick spray.
  • Carefully clean the mushrooms by wiping with a damp paper towel.
  • Break the stems off and then chop them extremely fine, discarding the tough ends. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-low heat.
  • Add the garlic and the chopped stems to the oil.
  • Fry until the liquid from the mushrooms has evaporated.
  • Remove from heat and set aside until cool.
  • Once the stems are cool, stir the cheeses, herbs and spices into the mixture.
  • The mixture should be thick.
  • Using a little spoon, fill each mushroom top with a generous amount of the stuffing mixture.
  • Arrange the mushrooms on the cookie sheet. Bake for about 3 minutes or until sizzling under the broiler.
