Ingredients
Scale
- 20 medium button mushrooms, stems removed
- 5-ounce (140g) package garlic and herb Boursin cheese
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, finely minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional toppings: grated Parmesan cheese, crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Gently wipe mushrooms clean with a damp paper towel; avoid rinsing under water.
- Remove mushroom stems carefully; optionally finely chop stems to mix into the cheese filling.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine Boursin cheese with minced garlic and chopped mushroom stems if using; mix well.
- Using a spoon, generously stuff each mushroom cap with the cheese mixture, mounding slightly on top.
- Lightly brush mushroom caps with olive oil.
- Place mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12 to 15 minutes until mushrooms are tender and cheese is soft and slightly golden.
- Remove from oven, garnish with fresh parsley and optional toppings like Parmesan or crushed red pepper flakes, and serve warm.
Notes
Do not rinse mushrooms under water to avoid sogginess; wipe clean instead. Let Boursin cheese sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before mixing for easier blending. Watch mushrooms closely near the end of baking to prevent cheese from burning. For dairy-free version, substitute Boursin with herbed vegan cream cheese. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheat best in the oven at 350°F for 7-8 minutes.
