- 24 large mushrooms, cleaned and stemmed
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium-sized onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup parsley leaves, freshly chopped
- 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened and cut into pieces
- 1/2 cup (2 ounces) blue cheese, softened and cut into pieces*
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice, freshly-squeezed
- 2 tablespoons cream sherry or port wine (optional)
- Salt and coarsely-ground black pepper to taste
-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
-
Carefully remove stems from mushrooms; chop the stems finely and set aside.
-
-
In a large frying pan over medium heat, melt butter. Add chopped mushroom stems, onions, and garlic; saute approximately 5 to 6 minutes or until onions are soft and translucent.
-
Reduce heat to low; add parsley, cream cheese, blue cheese, lemon juice, and cream sherry or port wine. Stir until cheeses are melted and well blended. Remove from heat.
-
Season to taste with salt and pepper. You probably won't need any salt, as blue cheese is salty. I do like to add a healthy-grinding of pepper.
-
Spoon the prepared blue cheese mixture into the mushroom caps, filling generously and mounding the tops. Place stuffed mushroom caps on a baking sheet with sides.
-
Bake approximately 8 to 10 minutes until mushrooms are cooked and cheese is melted.
-
Remove from heat and place mushrooms on a large serving plate or platter. Serve immediately.
-
Makes 24 stuffed mushrooms.
