Stuffing Ingredients
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 3 cups Herb Pub Cheese
- 4 tbsp half-and-half
- 1 cup finely grated parmesan cheese
Mushrooms and Cheese Topping
- 40 white button mushrooms
- Slices of provolone cheese (enough to top each mushroom)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prep Mushrooms: Preheat your oven to 375°F. Rinse and dry the mushrooms thoroughly. Carefully remove the stems from the mushroom caps and gently scrape out the gills using a spoon to create extra space for the filling.
- Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, herb pub cheese, and half-and-half. Stir well until you achieve a creamy and well-combined mixture.
- Stuff the Mushrooms: Place the mushroom caps stem side down on a lined baking sheet. Fill each mushroom cap generously with the prepared cheese and breadcrumb mixture, packing it in snugly for maximum flavor.
- Add Cheese Topping: Top each filled mushroom with a slice of provolone cheese and sprinkle finely grated parmesan cheese over each for enhanced flavor and a beautiful crust.
- Bake and Broil: Bake the stuffed mushrooms in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, until the filling is bubbling and the mushrooms are cooked through. For a golden brown top, broil the mushrooms for an additional 2-3 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
- Serve and Enjoy: Remove the mushrooms from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy this delicious appetizer warm.
Notes
- Ensure mushrooms are thoroughly dried after rinsing to prevent sogginess.
- Herb Pub Cheese can be substituted with any soft, herbed cheese of your choice.
- For a richer flavor, use full-fat half-and-half or substitute with heavy cream.
- You can prepare the filling in advance and refrigerate before stuffing the mushrooms.
- Broiling at the end is optional but adds a lovely golden crust and enhances taste.
