Anybody looking for a sure-fire hit for your next party? This is my go-to recipe that I have been making FOREVER-okay, maybe only like 6 years but in the span of my actual cooking life, it’s been forever. The Super Bowl is coming up and these are a crowd-pleaser that fly off the plate! These are a great vegetarian option at the traditionally meat-centric party (wings, nachos, chili, and burgers, anyone?).
Spicy Parmesan Stuffed Mushrooms
- Yield: 4 to 6 servings 1x
Description
These stuffed mushrooms will quickly become your go-to recipe!
Ingredients
- 1 pound white button or cremini mushrooms, or a mixture of both
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
- 2 ounces Parmesan cheese, finely grated plus more for topping
- 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Finely minced chives, for topping
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°.
Gently clean the mushrooms to remove any dirt. Separate the stems from the caps, reserving the stems. Place the mushroom caps on a small baking sheet.
Heat a small skillet over medium-high heat. Coarsely chop the mushroom stems. When preheated, add the butter and allow to melt. Once melted, add the mushroom stems and sauté for 8 to 10 minutes, until softened and golden around the edges. Season with salt and pepper and add the garlic, cooking for 30 seconds to 1 minute to soften.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, Parmesan, and cayenne, to taste. Add the mushroom-garlic mixture and stir to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon the filling into the mushroom caps until slightly overflowing. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over each mushroom and grind some fresh pepper on top. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until heated through and golden on top. Allow to cool for at least 5 minutes before serving. Sprinkle chives on top, if desired.
