Ingredients
  

  • 12 whole baby bella mushrooms (large)
  • 1/2 cup chopped parsley
  • 3 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Pinch of salt
  • 5 tbsp cream cheese
  • 2 tbsp feta cheese
  • 1 tbsp thyme
  • Pinch of cayenne powder
  • 1/3 cup breadcrumbs

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • Lightly grease a baking tray or use parchment paper.
  • Rinse the mushrooms and dry well. Remove the stems and set aside.
  • Arrange the mushroom caps on the baking tray.
  • Chop the mushrooms stems, parsley, and mince the garlic cloves.
  • In a small frying pan, heat the olive oil and add the chopped mushrooms stems. Fry for about 2 minutes, then add the minced garlic, and continue frying for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a medium bowl and let them cool.
  • Add the cream cheese, feta cheese, chopped parsley, thyme, and cayenne pepper to the mushrooms stem mixture and combine well to create the filling.
  • Place the breadcrumbs in a small pile. Spoon the filling into the mushroom caps, and then dip each mushroom in the breadcrumbs and place it back on the baking tray.
  • Bake for 20 minutes until the mushrooms are cooked and the breadcrumbs on top are golden. Serve and enjoy.
