Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds brown mushrooms medium size
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 small garlic clove grated
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 3/4 cup cheddar cheese grated
- 2 tablespoons chives more for garnish, or use minced green onion
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F and line large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- To clean mushrooms, wipe them with wet cloth or damp paper towel. Remove the stems by pushing to the side and popping them or using a paring knife.
- In a medium bowl, add softened cream cheese, garlic, salt and pepper. Using a fork, mash cream cheese and stir until thoroughly mixed. Add cheddar cheese and chives, mix with spatula until well incorporated.
- Using a tablespoon, fill the mushroom caps with filling, dividing evenly. It should mound over the mushroom just a bit.
- Place stuffed mushrooms on previously prepared baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes or until filling is hot.
- Transfer to a platter, garnish with more chives and serve warm or cold.
Notes
- Store: Refrigerate leftovers for up to 5 days. Enjoy warm or cold. Do not freeze as mushrooms do not thaw well.
- To soften cream cheese fast, cut it into cubes and place in a microwave for a few seconds at a time.
