### Ingredients:
- Fresh mushrooms, quantity as desired
- 4-5 cloves of garlic (or more if preferred)
- Cheese mix for stuffing (e.g., cream cheese, parmesan, mozzarella)
- Fresh parsley or herbs of choice, finely chopped
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Olive oil
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
Servings: Varies depending on the number of mushrooms
Equipment: oven, baking sheet, mixing bowl, knife, cutting board, brush (for cleaning mushrooms)
Instructions:
1. Begin by cleaning the mushrooms. To avoid adding too much moisture, which can lead to soggy mushrooms, gently brush off any dirt with a soft brush or wipe them clean with a damp paper towel. Let them sit on a dry towel after cleaning.
2. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line your baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly oil it.
3. Remove the stems from the mushrooms carefully, creating a small cavity for the stuffing; set aside the mushroom caps.
4. Mince the garlic cloves finely. If you love garlic, feel free to add more than the recommended amount.
5. In a mixing bowl, combine your choice of cheeses — a mixture of cream cheese, parmesan, and mozzarella works wonderfully. Blend the cheese mixture with the minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper until well combined.
6. Stuff each mushroom cap with the garlic and cheese mixture, pressing it in gently to pack the filling.
7. Place the stuffed mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle a bit of olive oil over the tops for added flavor and to keep them moist while baking.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the stuffing is golden and the mushrooms are tender.
9. Once done, allow the mushrooms to cool for a few minutes before serving to let the flavors settle and the cheese firm up slightly.
Cooking Tips:
- If the mushrooms seem especially wet after cleaning, you can pre-dry them in the oven at low heat to let them sweat out excess moisture before stuffing them.
- Using a combination of different cheeses can enhance the flavor profile of your stuffed mushrooms.
- For an added crunch, you can mix breadcrumbs with the cheese mixture or sprinkle it on top before baking.
