Oven baked stuffed mushrooms that are filled with cream cheese and baked until crispy and golden brown on top! Make them as a side dish or as a party food and watch everyone happily pop them in their mouth!
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray.
Clean mushrooms with a towel, wiping away any dirt on them. Break off the stems from mushrooms and chop them up finely. Set aside whole mushrooms.
In a large skillet, heat up olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped mushroom stems and minced garlic, stirring until garlic is browned.
Remove skillet from heat and add in in cream cheese, ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, pepper, onion powder and cayenne pepper, stirring to fully mix together.
Fill each mushroom cap with cream cheese mixture using a spoon. Add mushrooms on to prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle remaining 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese on top of mushrooms.
Bake for 20 minutes, or until mushrooms start releasing liquid. Optional: Want the tops lightly browned? Broil them for a couple of minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
Remove from the oven, allow to cool (they are hot inside!) and then serve. Enjoy these delicious stuffed mushrooms!
