Stuffed Mushrooms with Parmesan Asiago Cheese Spread

Warm, cheesy stuffed mushrooms that disappear from the platter before the turkey comes out. The filling starts with a jar of Parmesan Asiago Cheese Spread, a savory blend of Parmesan and Asiago in extra virgin olive oil with basil, garlic, chives and a touch of chile, so the seasoning is already done for you. Stir it into cream cheese and the chopped mushroom stems, pile it into cremini caps, and top with panko tossed in Countryside Herb Extra Virgin Olive Oil. That bottle is co-milled with fresh rosemary, lavender, oregano and thyme, so the golden tops taste like fresh herbs without any chopping. Five ingredients, one sheet pan, and about 40 minutes start to finish.

Ingredients

24 cremini (baby bella) mushrooms, about 1 ½ to 2 inches across (about 1 ½ pounds)
3 tablespoons Countryside Herb Extra Virgin Olive Oil, divided
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
½ cup Parmesan Asiago Cheese Spread (about half the jar), stirred before measuring
½ cup panko breadcrumbs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Optional: 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, for serving

Directions

Heat the oven to 400°F. Line a rimmed sheet pan with parchment.
Wipe the mushrooms clean with a damp towel. Twist out the stems and use a small spoon to scrape out a little of the gills so there is room for the filling. Finely chop the stems.
Heat 1 tablespoon Countryside Herb Extra Virgin Olive Oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped stems and a pinch of salt and cook 4 to 5 minutes, until the liquid they release cooks off. Transfer to a bowl and let cool 5 minutes.
Add the cream cheese and Parmesan Asiago Cheese Spread to the stems and stir until smooth. Taste and add pepper (it rarely needs more salt).
Toss the mushroom caps with 1 tablespoon Countryside Herb Extra Virgin Olive Oil and a pinch of salt. Set them hollow side up on the sheet pan and fill each one with a heaping teaspoon of filling, mounding it slightly.
In a small bowl, stir the panko with the remaining 1 tablespoon Countryside Herb Extra Virgin Olive Oil until evenly moistened. Press a little onto the top of each mushroom.
Bake 18 to 20 minutes, until the mushrooms are tender and the tops are golden brown. Let cool 5 minutes, sprinkle with parsley if you like, and serve warm.

Stuffed mushrooms are the appetizer that empties first at every holiday party, and most recipes ask you to chop, measure and season a long list of ingredients to get there. This version skips all of that. A jar of Parmesan Asiago Cheese Spread already holds the cheese, garlic, herbs and a touch of heat, so the filling comes together in one bowl.

The golden tops come from panko tossed in Countryside Herb Extra Virgin Olive Oil. It gives you the flavor of fresh herbs and a crisp crust without a cutting board in sight.

Hosting a Crowd
Fill the caps the day before and keep them covered in the fridge. When guests arrive, add the topping and bake. Twenty minutes later you have a warm platter coming out of the oven while everyone is still taking off their coats. For a bigger party, double the recipe and use two sheet pans.

Set Out the Jar
Put the open jar of cheese spread on the table with a few crackers. Guests always ask what is in the filling, and this answers it.
