Ingredients

  • 1 serving cooking spray
  • 12 whole fresh mushrooms, tough ends trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare a baking sheet with cooking spray.

  2. 2

    Clean mushrooms with a damp paper towel. Carefully break stems from mushrooms. Chop stems extremely fine.

  3. 3

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry chopped mushroom stems and garlic in hot oil until any moisture has disappeared, taking care not to burn the garlic, 3 to 5 minutes. Spread mushroom mixture into a bowl to cool completely, about 10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Stir cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, black pepper, onion powder, and cayenne pepper with the mushroom stems and garlic until very thick and completely mixed. Use a small spoon fill each mushroom cap with a generous amount of stuffing. Arrange stuffed mushrooms onto the prepared cookie sheet.

  5. 5

    Bake in preheated oven until piping hot and liquid starts to form under the caps, about 20 minutes.
