Measuring Cups
2 Spoons
1 9 x 9 Glass Baking Dish
1 Oven

Ingredients

2 tablespoons Salted Butter
8 ounces White Whole Mushrooms
½ cup cream cheese whipped
1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
¼ cup Cheddar Cheese Shredded
1 clove Garlic Pressed
Black Pepper to taste

For Panko Topping

¼ cup Plain Panko Breadcrumbs
¼ cup Shredded Parmesan Cheese
1 tablespoon Salted Butter melted

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Spray a square baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Then place two tablespoons of butter in the dish.
De-stem mushrooms and wipe clean with a damp paper towel.
In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese, Italian Seasoning, cheddar cheese, pressed garlic, and black pepper to taste. Set to the side.
In a separate bowl, mix together the melted butter, panko bread crumbs, and shredded parmesan cheese until well mixed. Sprinkle with additional pepper if desired.
Using a spoon, stuff each mushroom with the cream cheese filling just until it's even with the mushroom or just above the mushroom top. Next, press the cream cheese filled stuffed mushroom into the panko breadcrumb mixture. Make sure to coat all the cream cheese mixture.
Place each cream cheese stuffed mushroom in the dish until you have filled all mushrooms.
Bake for 20 minutes or until mushrooms are golden brown. Serve immediately.
