Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 16 oz whole cremini mushrooms stems reserved for filling
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 0.33 cup finely chopped shallot
- 0.5 cup finely chopped mushroom stems from the caps
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 0.75 tsp smoked paprika
- 0.25 tsp ground chipotle chili optional, adds gentle heat
- 0.5 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- 0.25 tsp kosher salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted for drizzling
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment and lightly oil it.
- Wipe mushrooms clean. Twist out stems and set caps hollow-side up on the pan.
- Finely chop the mushroom stems and the shallot.
- Warm olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook shallot and chopped stems until browned at the edges, 5–7 minutes.
- Stir in garlic and cook 30 seconds. Remove the skillet from heat.
- Mix in cream cheese, Parmesan, smoked paprika, chipotle, Worcestershire, salt, pepper, and parsley until smooth. Fold in panko.
- Spoon and mound the filling into mushroom caps. Drizzle the tops with melted butter.
- Bake until caps are tender and tops are golden, 16–18 minutes. Cool 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Variation: Stir in 2 tbsp crisp crumbled bacon or swap Parmesan for smoked gouda for extra smoky depth.
Make-ahead: Stuff caps up to a day in advance, cover, and refrigerate. Bake straight from cold, adding 2–3 minutes.
Leftovers: Reheat on a sheet pan at 350°F for 6–8 minutes to restore crisp tops.
