Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare a baking sheet with cooking spray.
Step 2
Clean mushrooms with a damp paper towel. Carefully break stems from mushrooms. Chop stems extremely fine.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Stir cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, black pepper, onion powder, and cayenne pepper into the cooled mushroom mixture until very thick and completely mixed. Use a small spoon to fill each mushroom cap with a generous amount of stuffing. Arrange stuffed mushrooms on the prepared cookie sheet.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until piping hot and liquid starts to form under mushroom caps, about 20 minutes.
