These Stuffed Mushrooms with Cream Cheese and Cheddar are a savory and easy-to-make appetizer featuring tender mushrooms filled with a creamy garlic and parsley cheese mixture, topped with melted cheddar and a golden olive oil glaze. Perfect for parties or a delicious snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Mushrooms

  • 12 large mushrooms (cremini or button mushrooms work well)

Filling

  • 4 oz (120g) cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Topping

  • 1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese
  • Olive oil for brushing

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Mushrooms: Clean mushrooms with a damp cloth and gently twist to remove stems. Set stems aside for other uses.
  3. Make Filling: In a bowl, combine softened cream cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley (if using), salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and creamy.
  4. Stuff Mushrooms: Fill each mushroom cap generously with the cream cheese mixture, pressing gently to pack without damaging the mushroom.
  5. Arrange and Top: Place stuffed mushrooms evenly spaced on the baking sheet. Sprinkle grated cheddar cheese evenly over each filled mushroom.
  6. Brush with Olive Oil: Lightly brush the tops of the mushrooms with olive oil to help brown and create a golden crust.
  7. Bake: Bake for 15–20 minutes, until mushrooms are tender and cheese is melted and bubbly with a golden crust.
  8. Cool and Serve: Let mushrooms cool slightly before serving warm as an appetizer or party snack.

Notes

  • For best results, use fresh, firm mushrooms without blemishes.
  • Remove mushroom stems gently to keep caps intact.
  • Chopped mushroom stems can be saved for stocks, soups, or sauces.
  • Parsley is optional but adds a fresh herbal note.
  • Use full-fat cream cheese for a richer taste.
  • Brush with olive oil carefully to avoid overly greasy mushrooms.
  • Serve warm for optimal flavor and texture.
