Instructions

Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F. This ensures even cooking and helps the mushrooms get that perfect golden-brown top.

Prepare the Mushrooms: Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel, remove the stems, and place them on a baking sheet. Lightly brush them with olive oil to prevent drying out.

Make the Filling: In a bowl, mix the cream cheese, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until smooth.

Stuff the Mushrooms: Use a spoon to fill each mushroom cap with the cheesy mixture. Don’t be shy—pile it on!

Bake to Perfection: Place the mushrooms in the oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and bubbly.

Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve warm. Enjoy these bite-sized delights!
