Ingredients

5 servings

•

2 tablespoons butter, divided, or more as needed
•

10 medium brown mushrooms, stems removed and diced
•

3 ounces garden vegetable cream cheese spread (such as Philadelphia(R) Garden Vegetable), or more to taste

•

2 stalks green onions, chopped
•

1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives, or to taste
•

¼ cup panko bread crumbs

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add mushroom caps and saute until soft and browned, about 2 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer to a baking dish.
Add diced mushroom stems to the same skillet, adding more butter if needed. Saute until mushrooms have softened, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl along with any pan juices. Add cream cheese, green onions, and chives and mix while still hot. Stuff mixture into the mushroom caps until they are full.
Melt remaining tablespoon butter in a skillet. Add bread crumbs and toss until well coated. Top each mushroom cap with a layer of the buttered crumbs.
Bake in the preheated oven until tops are browned and crispy, about 9 minutes. Remove and let cool for about 3 minutes before serving.
