Instructions
Making cheese and jalapeño stuffed mushrooms is a straightforward process. Follow these step-by-step instructions to create this delightful appetizer:
- Preheat the oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the mushrooms: Carefully clean the mushrooms and remove the stems. Set the caps aside and finely chop the stems.
- Make the filling: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the cream cheese, chopped jalapeños, minced garlic, chopped green onions, Parmesan cheese, chopped mushroom stems, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Stuff the mushrooms: Using a spoon, fill each mushroom cap with the cream cheese mixture. Be generous with the filling, ensuring each cap is well-stuffed.
- Top with breadcrumbs: In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with olive oil. Sprinkle a small amount of the breadcrumb mixture on top of each stuffed mushroom.
- Bake the mushrooms: Arrange the stuffed mushrooms in a baking dish, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the tops are golden brown.
- Garnish and serve: Remove the mushrooms from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
