Stuffed Mushrooms

By gstark

Ingredients

• 20 fresh mushrooms
• 1 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 3 teaspoons minced garlic
• 1 – 8 ounce package cream cheese
• 3/4 cup finely grated parmesan cheese (I use my microplane grater for this)
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

Preparation

Step 1

Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees.
Remove the stems from the mushrooms and set aside, you’ll need these in a minute.
Use a damp cloth to wash the mushrooms.
Cut any hard part off the mushroom stems and discard. Chop up the remaining mushroom stems so that they are really fine.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large non-stick skillet. Sauté the chopped mushroom stems and garlic for 5-10 minutes. Turn the heat to low. Stir in cream cheese, parmesan cheese, black pepper and oregano. Stir well.
Spoon about 1/2 to 1 tablespoon of mixture into each mushroom cap.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are nicely browned.
Serve immediately.
