These bite-sized Boursin-Stuffed Mushrooms are the perfect fall appetizer. This recipe combines the earthiness of mushrooms and herbs with the creamy richness of Boursin cheese. Each stuffed mushroom bursts with flavour and is so warming and comforting.
Brush the bottom and sides of a 9x9 inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Set aside.
Remove the stems from the crimini mushrooms and finely chop.
Heat a medium sized frying pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, chopped mushroom stems, shallot, garlic, salt, and pepper. Sauté for 5 minutes, until the mushrooms and shallot have softened.
Transfer the mushroom mixture to a bowl and add the Boursin cheese and 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese. Use a spatula to mix until fully combined.
Arrange the crimini mushrooms hollow end up in the baking dish. Scoop 2 teaspoons of the cheese mixture into the center of each mushroom cap. Repeat until all the mushrooms are filled.
Add the panko breadcrumbs and the remaining 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese and olive oil to a small bowl. Use your fingers to mix until combined, then sprinkle evenly over the filled mushrooms.
Bake the stuffed mushrooms in the center of the oven for 25-35 minutes, or until the mushrooms have softened, and the tops are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and garnish with the chopped parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy!
