Ingredients

• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 12 whole fresh mushrooms
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon onion powder

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Clean mushrooms with a damp paper towel; carefully break off stems. Chop stems extremely fine, discarding the tough end of stems.

Step 2

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and chopped mushroom stems; fry until any moisture has evaporated, taking care not to burn garlic. Set aside to cool.

Step 3

Stir in cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, black pepper, onion powder, and cayenne. The mixture will be very thick; use a teaspoon to fill each mushroom cap with a generous amount of stuffing. Arrange mushroom caps on the prepared cookie sheet.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until the mushrooms are piping hot, about 20 minutes.
