Detailed Directions and Instructions
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare the Baking Sheet
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
Clean the Mushrooms
Wipe the mushrooms clean with a damp paper towel and remove the stems. Use a spoon to gently scoop out some of the insides to create a small cavity for the filling.
Prepare the Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, shredded cheese, jalapeños, garlic powder, onion powder, and season with salt and pepper. Mix until well blended.
Stuff the Mushrooms
Carefully spoon the filling mixture into each mushroom cap, pressing down gently to ensure they are well filled.
Arrange on Baking Sheet
Place the stuffed mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart to allow for even cooking.
Bake in the Oven
Bake the stuffed mushrooms in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the mushrooms are tender and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Let Cool Before Serving
Remove the mushrooms from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
Choosing Mushrooms
Use large mushrooms such as cremini or portobello for better stuffing and presentation.
Adjusting Spiciness
Feel free to adjust the amount of jalapeños in the filling to suit your spice preference.
Storing Leftovers
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for best results.
