Ingredients
  

  • Fresh button mushrooms: Their earthy flavor and firm texture make them the perfect base. Avoid canned or frozen mushrooms as they won’t deliver the same results.
  • Cream cheese 8 oz: Makes the dip velvety and rich. Bring it to room temperature for easier mixing.
  • Parmesan cheese 1/2 cup, grated: Adds a nutty, salty punch. Grate it fresh for the best flavor.
  • Garlic 2 cloves, minced: Provides a fragrant, savory kick that complements the mushrooms.
  • Breadcrumbs 1/3 cup: Create a slightly crunchy topping while binding the filling for a perfect consistency.
  • Thyme or parsley optional, 1 tbsp chopped: Optional, but these fresh herbs can add a burst of brightness to the dip.

Method
 

  1. Start by giving the mushrooms a good clean under running water. Gently dry them with a clean towel. Remove the stems carefully – you can use your hands or a small knife. If needed, hollow them out slightly more using a spoon.
  2. Take a mixing bowl and add the softened cream cheese, freshly grated Parmesan, minced garlic, and breadcrumbs. Stir until everything is smooth and well combined. For a little extra flavor, toss in some chopped thyme or parsley at this stage. The filling should be creamy but not too runny.
  3. Spoon a generous amount of the creamy filling into each mushroom cap, packing it in nicely. Arrange the stuffed mushrooms on a baking tray or in a shallow dish. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 15–20 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the tops turn golden, and the mushrooms are tender. The aroma? Absolutely divine.

Notes

  • Use Room Temperature Cream Cheese: It blends better and keeps the filling smooth.
  • Don’t Overstuff: The filling can spill over while baking, so don’t heap too much on top.
  • Add a Crunchy Topping: Sprinkle a few extra breadcrumbs on top for added crunch.
  • Finish with Herbs: A sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley or thyme can brighten up the flavors.
