Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 16 large white or cremini mushrooms, stems removed

  5. Transfer mixture to a bowl and mix with cream cheese, Parmesan, and mozzarella until well combined.
  6. Spoon the filling into the mushroom caps and place them in the baking dish.
  7. Top each with a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese.
  8. Bake for 18–20 minutes or until cheese is melted and slightly golden.
