Tender button mushroom caps filled with a savory mixture of toasted pecans, cream cheese, garlic, and herbs. An impressive appetizer that disappears fast at any party.

  • 24 large white button mushrooms, stems removed and reserved
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup finely chopped toasted pecans
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Finely chop the reserved mushroom stems.

  2. 2

    Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chopped mushroom stems and garlic for 3 to 4 minutes until softened and most of the moisture has evaporated. Let cool slightly.

  3. 3

    In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, toasted pecans, Parmesan, cooked mushroom stems, parsley, and thyme. Season with salt and pepper and mix until well combined.

  4. 4

    Brush the mushroom caps lightly with the remaining olive oil and arrange cavity-side up on the baking sheet. Fill each cap generously with the pecan mixture, mounding it slightly.

  5. 5

    Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is golden on top. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
