Ingredients Needed
- 12 large white mushrooms

- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Step-by-Step Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp cloth. Remove the stems and set them aside.
Finely chop the mushroom stems. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped stems, cream cheese, Parmesan, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended.
Using a spoon, stuff each mushroom cap with the cheese mixture. Place the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle the tops with olive oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
