Ingredients

12 large button or cremini mushrooms (stems removed and cleaned)
1 tbsp olive oil (plus more for brushing)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (or use chives or basil)
Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional: a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat

Instructions

Preheat grill: Heat to medium (about 375–400°F). Clean and oil the grates.
Prepare mushrooms: Gently remove the stems from the mushrooms and brush the caps with olive oil. Set aside.
Make the filling: In a bowl, mix together cream cheese, Parmesan, mozzarella, minced garlic, parsley, olive oil, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
Stuff the mushrooms: Spoon a generous amount of filling into each mushroom cap, smoothing the top.
Grill: Place mushrooms on the grill over indirect heat (or use a grill pan or foil to prevent tipping). Close the lid and cook for 10–12 minutes, until mushrooms are tender and the filling is melted and bubbly.
Serve: Remove carefully from the grill. Let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with extra herbs if desired.

Notes

You can prep these ahead of time and refrigerate until ready to grill.
Try variations like bacon bits, sun-dried tomatoes, or spinach mixed into the filling.
Works great with portobello mushrooms for a heartier version!
