Ingredients
Scale
- 12 large fresh mushrooms (cremini or white button)
- 4 oz (113 g) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup (120 ml) shredded cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup (60 ml) grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (or 1 teaspoon dried)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Olive oil, for brushing
Instructions
- Mushroom Preparation: Meticulously cleanse mushroom caps, delicately removing stems and finely dicing them. Tenderly brush caps with olive oil for enhanced flavor and grill-ready texture.
- Filling Creation: Combine cream cheese, cheddar, and Parmesan in a mixing bowl. Incorporate finely chopped green onions, minced garlic, fresh parsley, and previously diced mushroom stems. Season with salt and pepper, blending ingredients into a harmonious mixture.
- Stuffing and Grilling: Generously fill each mushroom cap with the prepared mixture, creating a slightly mounded profile. Transfer to a foil-lined grill surface or heat-resistant pan. Seal grill lid and cook at medium heat for 10-12 minutes, allowing mushrooms to tenderize and filling to transform into a golden, bubbling delicacy.
- Final Presentation: Carefully remove mushrooms from grill, allowing slight cooling. Optional garnish with additional fresh parsley for a vibrant finishing touch. Serve immediately to capture peak flavor and texture.
Notes
- Choose firm, fresh mushrooms with intact, unbruised caps for the best texture and flavor.
- Pat mushrooms completely dry after cleaning to prevent soggy grilling and ensure better filling adhesion.
- Soften cream cheese at room temperature for smoother, easier mixing with other filling ingredients.
- Maintain medium heat to prevent burning and allow even cooking of mushrooms and melting of cheese filling.
