Stuffed Mushrooms

1 large container of small to medium mushrooms

1 heaping tbsp. chopped garlic

1 tsp olive oil

1 room temperature (8 oz) package of cream cheese

1/4 tsp black pepper

1/4 tsp onion powder

1/4 tsp cayenne

1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

Directions

1. Remove mushroom stems from the mushrooms. Using your fingers, crumble the stems into small pieces and put into a frying pan.

2. Add the olive oil, and cook on high heat. Add chopped garlic once the mushrooms begin to give off liquid, and continue to cook until almost all the liquid is evaporated. Cool to room temperature.

3. Mix cooked mushrooms filling with cream cheese, spices, and parmesan cheese.

4. Fil mushroom caps generously with the stuffing. Cook at 350 degrees until the filling begins to brown, about 45 to 50 minutes.

Notes

Once recipe makes approximately half a sheet pan. More garlic is never a bad thing. You will always need to make more than once batch at a time!
