Cheese and Herb Stuffed Mushrooms

Here’s a recipe I created to empty the fridge that was such a hit I had to share it, because I’ll definitely make it again. Mushrooms stuffed with cheese, fresh herbs, and caramelized onions—easy and quick. You can serve them as an appetizer with small mushrooms or as a starter with larger ones.

    For 6 large button mushrooms

    • 1 tbsp olive oil
    • 250g (1 cup) cream cheese
    • 4-5 sprigs fresh chives, chopped
    • 2-3 sprigs fresh parsley, chopped
    • 1 tbsp caramelized onions, minced
    • 2 slices Emmental cheese (or Emek), cut into small cubes
    • Salt, pepper
    1. Clean the mushrooms and remove the gills (the dark part). Remove the stems and mince them finely.
    2. In a small skillet, sauté the mushroom stems in 1 tablespoon olive oil until they release their water. Season with salt and pepper. Turn off the heat and add the fresh chopped herbs. Transfer to a mixing bowl and combine with the cream cheese, caramelized onions, and cheese cubes.
    3. Place the mushroom caps in a baking dish, then fill each cap with the cream cheese mixture. Bake on the middle rack for 15 minutes at 180°C (350°F).
