EASY CHEESE STUFFED MUSHROOMS



Easy Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms image

These cheese and garlic stuffed mushrooms are simple to put together and easily adapt to your favorite cheeses. We love using a sharp cheddar, but mozzarella, Swiss, Gruyere cheese, or even creamier cheeses like feta, goat, and brie will all work. Of course, a combination of cheeses is a great idea, too!

Time 25m

Yield Makes 20 stuffed mushroom caps

Number Of Ingredients 10

20 white button or cremini mushrooms (about 10 ounces)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup chopped onion (half medium onion)
2 tablespoons minced garlic (4 to 5 cloves)
2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary or thyme, see notes for parsley
2 ounces shredded cheese like sharp cheddar, mozzarella, Swiss or a combination
3 tablespoons breadcrumbs (use panko or regular breadcrumbs)
Salt and fresh ground black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or chives for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375° degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Using a damp paper towel, brush all dirt from the mushrooms. Remove the mushroom stems. Cut away and discard any hard bits of the stems, then finely mince them.
  • Add the mushroom caps to a rimmed baking sheet or sizeable oven-safe skillet that fits the mushrooms in one layer. Toss them with a tablespoon of olive oil and lightly season with fresh ground black pepper. Arrange them cavity-side-up so that they are ready to be stuffed.
  • Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, chopped mushroom stalks, and a pinch of salt. Cook, occasionally stirring, until the onions smell sweet and are soft, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and herbs, then cook for another minute or until the garlic is fragrant. Before the garlic begins to brown, scrape the mixture into a bowl and set it aside to cool.
  • Add the breadcrumbs to the same skillet. Place it over medium-low heat, and then cook, stirring, until they are lightly toasted; about one minute.
  • Stir the cheese into the onions and garlic mixture, then divide the filling between the mushroom caps. Sprinkle the toasted breadcrumbs on top.
  • Bake the mushrooms until the cheese has melted and the mushrooms have softened; 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Serve with chopped fresh herbs and freshly ground black pepper on top.
