Ingredients
Scale
Mushrooms
- 20 large cremini mushrooms
Filling
- 5 ounces Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs Cheese (1 package)
- 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the stuffed mushrooms evenly and thoroughly.
- Prepare mushrooms: Clean the mushrooms carefully using a damp paper towel to remove any dirt. Remove the stems gently, keeping only the caps, and arrange the caps on a lined baking sheet to prepare for stuffing.
- Mix filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs cheese with the panko breadcrumbs, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and evenly incorporated.
- Stuff mushrooms: Generously fill each mushroom cap with the cheese and breadcrumb mixture, ensuring they are well-stuffed for maximum flavor and texture.
- Bake mushrooms: Place the stuffed mushrooms in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes. The mushrooms should become tender, and the tops turn a lovely golden brown.
- Garnish and serve: Remove the mushrooms from the oven, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness, and serve them warm as an irresistible appetizer.
Notes
- You can substitute cremini mushrooms with white button mushrooms if desired, but cremini provide a richer flavor.
- For a crispier topping, sprinkle additional panko breadcrumbs on top before baking.
- To make this appetizer vegetarian-friendly, ensure the Boursin cheese used contains no animal rennet.
- These mushrooms are best served fresh and warm but can be reheated gently in the oven.
