Time 40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 serving cooking spray
12 whole fresh mushrooms, tough ends trimmed
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare a baking sheet with cooking spray.
  • Clean mushrooms with a damp paper towel. Carefully break stems from mushrooms. Chop stems extremely fine.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry chopped mushroom stems and garlic in hot oil until any moisture has disappeared, taking care not to burn the garlic, 3 to 5 minutes. Spread mushroom mixture into a bowl to cool completely, about 10 minutes.
  • Stir cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, black pepper, onion powder, and cayenne pepper with the mushroom stems and garlic until very thick and completely mixed. Use a small spoon fill each mushroom cap with a generous amount of stuffing. Arrange stuffed mushrooms onto the prepared cookie sheet.

GREEN CHILE STUFFED MUSHROOMS

I had some mushrooms to use up and couldn't find any recipes that I wanted to make or that I had all of the ingredients for. So I decided to play with some of my favorite flavors together to make a vegetarian no bread-crumb stuffed mushroom. I had to write down a few more ideas for the next time I have mushrooms on hand. Playing with food is fun! The filling in these did turn out soft with neufchatel so I'm giving the choice of cottage cheese. If you would like it spicier consider adding tabasco, red pepper flakes, jalapeno, or cumin.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Mushrooms: Select large, firm, and fresh mushrooms with intact stems. Avoid mushrooms with bruises or blemishes.
  • Clean the Mushrooms Properly: Gently wipe the mushrooms with a damp paper towel or brush to remove any dirt or debris. Avoid rinsing the mushrooms under running water, as this can absorb excess moisture.
  • Stuffing Consistency: Ensure the cheese and chile stuffing is not too dry or too wet. Adjust the amount of bread crumbs or milk as needed to achieve a moist but cohesive mixture.
  • Baking Temperature: Bake the stuffed mushrooms at a high temperature (400°F) to quickly brown the tops and prevent the mushrooms from releasing too much liquid.
  • Use Fresh Herbs and Seasonings: Incorporate fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro, and seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder, or smoked paprika, to enhance the flavor of the stuffing.
  • Garnish Before Serving: Before serving, garnish the stuffed mushrooms with fresh herbs, a sprinkle of grated cheese, or a drizzle of olive oil for an extra touch of flavor and visual appeal.
