One of the appetizers that I like to order when dining at “Olive Garden” (the Italian restaurant) is the “Stuffed Mushroom”. They have really good stuffed mushroom. I never thought that these ordinary and plain-looking white mushrooms can be tasted so good when they are cooked.

It is not difficult to prepare this savory dish once you have tried it for the first time.  Since the mushrooms are stuffed with cheese and bread crumbs filling , it is recommended to serve them hot.  You can prepare the stuffed mushrooms ahead of time and only start baking them 30 minutes before the party. I bet everyone will love it (except for those who don’t love cheese :P).

Ingredients:
1 package of white mushroom (stemmed)
1/2 stick of butter
1/4 medium onion (chopped)
2 garlic cloves (minced)
2/3 of 8 oz package cream cheese
2 tbsp Italian parsley leaves (chopped)
1/2 cup Italian-style dried bread crumbs
3 tbsp of Parmesan cheese or grated Pecorino Romano
Salt and pepper to tast
2 tbsp olive oil

Cooking Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Remove stems from mushrooms and chop the stems.
3. Slightly wet the paper towel and clean the mushrooms.
4. Heat butter over medium, stir fry the garlic, onion and chopped mushroom stems until tender. Remove from heat.
5. Combine cream cheese with parsley, dried bread crumbs and parmesan cheese. Stir in the cooked ingredients, add salt and pepper, mix well.
6. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil on the baking pan.
7. Spoon 1 tablespoon of cheese stuffing into each mushroom cap. Place them on the baking pan.  Drizzle remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil onto the the mushrooms.
8. Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden on top.
