Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and coat with cooking spray.
  • Wipe mushrooms with a damp paper towel.
  • Twist off the stems from each mushroom cap.
  • Finely chop the stems and discard the tough ends.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add vegetable oil to the skillet.
  • Add minced garlic to the skillet.
  • Add the chopped mushroom stems to the skillet.
  • Cook, stirring, until the mixture is dry and the moisture has evaporated.
  • Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool.
  • In a bowl, add cream cheese, Parmesan, black pepper, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.
  • Stir in the cooled garlic-stem mixture until very thick and well blended.
  • Arrange the mushroom caps on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Using a small spoon, fill each cap with the cheese mixture.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, or until the caps are hot and liquid forms under the mushrooms.

Tips and Tricks

Choose the Right Mushrooms - Use similarly sized white or cremini mushrooms so they cook evenly and look uniform on the tray.
Keep The Filling Thick - Let the garlic-stem mixture cool before mixing so the cream cheese stays thick and easy to spoon.
Prevent Soggy Caps - Cook the chopped stems until dry; this removes moisture that can collect under the caps.
Neat Filling - Use a small spoon or piping bag for tidy, level tops that won’t spill as they bake.
Finish With Texture - For a light crunch, sprinkle a little extra grated Parmesan on top before baking.

How to Store and Reheat

Refrigerate - Cool completely, then place in an airtight container and refrigerate up to 3 days.
Reheat in Oven - Place on a baking sheet and warm at 350°F for 8–10 minutes until hot.
Reheat in Air Fryer - Air fry at 325°F for 4–6 minutes until heated through.
Do Not Freeze
