12 whole fresh mushrooms
1 ounce pâté
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
¼ cup fresh basil, chopped for garnish
Italian bread crumbs or panko
PREPARATION
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare a baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Clean mushrooms with a damp paper towel. Carefully break stems from mushrooms so that just the cap is left. Place them on the baking sheet.
- Inside each mushroom, add one piece of pâté.
- In a bowl, mix garlic and cream cheese. Use a small spoon to fill each mushroom cap with a generous amount the cream cheese mixture. Arrange stuffed mushrooms onto the baking sheet.
- Place the breadcrumbs in a small bowl. Hold a mushroom over the bowl and with your hand, cover with crumbs and place back on the baking sheet. Repeat until all are covered.
- Sprinkle parmesan cheese on each along with basil to garnish.
- Bake in the oven until piping hot and liquid starts to form under the caps, about 20 minutes.
