How To Make Stuffed Mushrooms With Cream Cheese In A Few Simple Steps
Prepare The Mushrooms
First off, I clean the mushrooms by wiping off any dirt with a paper towel. The next step is to remove the stems with a knife or you could also use a teaspoon. Set the mushrooms aside for later.
Saute The Onion And Mushroom Stems
Next, I finely chop the mushroom stems, the grated garlic, and half a chopped onion and sauté them in a saucepan with a little olive oil. Season with a little salt and pepper. It smells delicious already.
Mix the Ingredients
Into a mixing bowl, add the cream cheese, chopped herbs, and sautéed vegetables. Stir with a wooden spoon until the mixture is smooth and thoroughly combined.
Stuff The Mushrooms
Use a teaspoon to stuff the mushrooms with our aromatic cream cheese mixture. Place the stuffed mushrooms into a baking dish.
Final Touches
Cut the cherry tomatoes crosswise and place them in between the mushrooms. Drizzle with the olive oil and bake in the oven for around 30 minutes. Enjoy! Bon Appetit!
