Ingredients
Scale
Mushrooms
- 16 oz portobello mushrooms
Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered parmesan cheese
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
Garnish
- fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the mushrooms.
- Prepare Mushrooms: Rinse the portobello mushrooms under cold water and pat them dry completely. Remove the stems carefully to create space for the filling.
- Arrange Mushrooms: Place the mushroom caps upside down in a baking dish, ensuring they are stable and ready for stuffing.
- Make Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered parmesan cheese, sour cream, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and basil. Beat together until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Stuff Mushrooms: Using a spoon, fill each mushroom cap generously with the prepared cheese mixture.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake the stuffed mushrooms for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the tops are beautifully browned and the filling is hot and bubbling.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor, and serve warm.
Notes
- For an extra cheesy texture, sprinkle additional parmesan on top before baking.
- Can be prepared ahead and refrigerated; bake when ready to serve.
- To make this recipe vegan, substitute cream cheese and sour cream with plant-based alternatives and ensure parmesan is vegan-friendly.
- Serve as an appetizer or a hearty side dish alongside salads or grilled meats.
