Ingredients

Scale

12 large button or cremini mushrooms, stems removed
4 oz cream cheese, softened
½ cup shredded hard cheese (Parmesan, mozzarella, or cheddar)
1–2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp chopped fresh herbs (parsley, thyme, or basil)
¼ cup breadcrumbs (or gluten-free alternative)
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

Prep Mushrooms: Gently wipe mushrooms clean and remove the stems.
Make Filling: In a bowl, mix cream cheese, shredded cheese, garlic, herbs, and breadcrumbs. Season with salt and pepper.
Stuff Mushrooms: Spoon filling into each mushroom cap, pressing lightly to fill.
Preheat Grill: Heat grill to medium. Oil the grates or use a grill-safe pan.
Grill Mushrooms: Place mushrooms on indirect heat, cover, and grill for 10–15 minutes until tender and filling is golden.
Serve: Remove with tongs, let cool slightly, and serve warm.

Notes

Use a foil tray or grill basket for easy handling and cleanup.

Let mushrooms cool slightly before serving so filling sets.

Add crumbled cooked sausage, sun-dried tomatoes, or pesto for variations.

Can also be baked at 375°F (190°C) for 15–20 minutes.
