Stuffed Mushrooms
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 3 cups Herb Pub Cheese
- 4 tbsp half-and-half
- 40 white button mushrooms
- Slices of provolone cheese (enough for topping each mushroom)
- 1 cup finely grated parmesan cheese
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it is ready to bake the mushrooms evenly.
- Prepare Mushrooms: Rinse and dry the mushrooms thoroughly. Carefully remove the stems from each mushroom cap and use a spoon to gently scrape out the gills, creating space for the filling.
- Mix Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, herb pub cheese, and half-and-half. Stir well until the mixture is creamy and evenly combined, forming a smooth filling.
- Stuff Mushrooms: Place the mushroom caps on a lined baking sheet. Fill each mushroom cap generously with the prepared cheese mixture, packing it in snugly to maximize flavor.
- Add Cheese Toppings: Top each stuffed mushroom with a slice of provolone cheese and a sprinkle of grated parmesan cheese for extra richness and an appealing golden crust.
- Bake Mushrooms: Bake the stuffed mushrooms in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling and mushrooms are tender.
- Optional Broil: For a beautifully browned topping, broil the mushrooms for an additional 2-3 minutes after baking, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
- Serve: Remove from oven and serve warm. Enjoy your flavorful Longhorn Stuffed Mushrooms as an appetizer or side dish.
Notes
- For added flavor, mix cooked and crumbled bacon or diced jalapenos into the filling mixture before stuffing.
- Make it spicy by adding a splash of hot sauce or sprinkling red pepper flakes on top before baking.
- To make this dish vegetarian-friendly, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth in the filling (if you modify the cheese mixture accordingly).
- For a low-carb alternative, substitute almond flour for panko breadcrumbs in the filling.
- These stuffed mushrooms can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to two days before baking.
