Whole mushroom caps are packed with creamy, herb-flecked Boursin cheese and baked until tender in this straightforward appetizer. With only a handful of ingredients and about 20 minutes of total time, they fit easily into a weeknight schedule. The garlic and herb cheese melts into the mushrooms as they roast, creating a rich, savory filling.
Arrange the mushroom caps on a baking sheet, cavity facing up.
In a mixing bowl, combine the Boursin cheese and chopped parsley. Mix until well blended.
Using a spoon, fill each mushroom cap with the cheese mixture, allowing a slight mound of filling.
Drizzle the mushrooms with olive oil and sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and the cheese is lightly golden.
Notes
For a touch of heat, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the cheese mixture. If Boursin is not available, you can use herbed cream cheese as a substitute. Ensure mushrooms are dry before baking to avoid sogginess.
