Stuffed Mushrooms in 40 Minutes

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Gently pull the stems from the mushrooms to preserve the integrity of the cap.
3. Brush the exterior of each cap with olive oil using a pastry brush to prevent shriveling and promote browning.
4. In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, breadcrumbs, and Parmesan, stirring until the crumbs are evenly coated.
5. Fold in the minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper.
6. Fold in the softened cream cheese until just combined and the filling is cohesive.
7. Spoon a generous heap of filling into each cap, pressing down lightly with the back of the spoon to secure it.
8. Bake for 25 minutes or until the mushroom caps are tender and the filling is golden brown and crisp.
