Ghostly Cheese-Stuffed Mushrooms
Equipment
- Baking sheet
- Mixing bowl
- Spoon
Ingredients
- 16 large white button mushrooms
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 black olive slices
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Wipe the mushrooms clean with a damp cloth, then remove and finely chop the stems.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, mozzarella, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, pepper, and chopped mushroom stems until evenly mixed.
- Spoon the cheese mixture into each mushroom cap, filling them generously and smoothing the tops.
- Place the filled mushrooms on the baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes until the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and press one black olive slice into the top of each mushroom to form eyes.
Notes
Use room-temperature cream cheese so it mixes smoothly with the other ingredients. If you want stronger garlic flavor, add an extra clove to the filling before stuffing. These reheat well in a 350-degree oven for five minutes if made earlier in the day.
