Tasty Stuffed Mushrooms

image

What You Need:

White whole Mushrooms

olive oil

Cheese –(best if using cream cheese and Parmesan cheese (may be the kraft powdered one)

1/4 cup red onion

diced garlic about one tbsp

bread crumbs (we used italian bread crumbs)

parsley, paprika to garnish

What to Do

*preheat oven at 350*

First wash the mushrooms really well. You can do this by using a damp cloth and rubbing the dirt off the mushrooms. Next de-stem the mushrooms. Leave the stems on one side and the mushrooms caps on another side.

Using a knife or a food chopper, dice the mushrooms stems. Next, dice the onion and the garlic. Combine the two with the mushrooms and mix the mixture with a spoon.

Now get the small package of cream cheese and slightly melt it in the microwave. Take it out, and mix it into the mushroom stem mixture. Add in the Parmesan cheese (however much you want to put in) and mix. Note: in the picture, we didn’t use cream cheese bc we did not have any. instead we put in mozzarella cheese.

Next, with a spoon, spoon the mixture into the mushroom caps. It’s ok if it’s a little overflowing. Make sure though, that you pack it in there well. You can do this by using the back of a spoon and patting it in. This is to ensure that the mixture will not pop out for the next step you’re about to do. Oh yes..and more than not, you’re going to end up with lots of leftovers of the mixture. You can later use these as a topping for bread…freeze it for stuffing mushrooms later…whatever.
