Equipment
- cast iron pan
Ingredients
- 1½ pounds white button mushrooms
- 3 tbsp Canola Oil
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 4 oz. cream cheese
- ½ cup Mozzarella Cheese shredded
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan Cheese
- ½ cup Panko Breadcrumbs

Topping
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan Cheese
- ¼ cup fresh parsley leaves
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- ½ cup Panko Breadcrumbs
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Add Canola oil and quartered white button mushrooms to a large cast iron skillet and season generously with salt and black pepper. Heat mushrooms over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are soft and tender, which takes about 8 minutes.
- Add minced garlic and cream cheese and cook until cheese is melted and coating all mushrooms in the pan.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup bread crumbs, mozzarella, and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese. Mix together well.
Create Topping
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the remaining 1/2 cup Panko bread crumbs, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, fresh parsley leaves, and melted butter, and mix well.
- Spoon Parmesan Breading topping on top of mushrooms in the pan.
- Bake mushroom casserole for 25-30 minutes or until top breading is golden brown. Serve side dish immediately.
Notes
- Super easy to change up, feel free to add a bit of cooked ground sausage to go from mushroom side dish to delicious dinner!
- Garlic is something you measure with your heart so do not be ashamed to add more roasted garlic or minced garlic for the wildest garlicky mushrooms.
- Chicken makes a lovely pairing with baked vegetable casseroles, so adding some cooked chicken or shredded chicken to this dish can really dial it up.
- Other flavors that pair well are diced onions, cooked and crumbled bacon, green onions for topping, or fresh Thyme Sprigs.
- Serve on top of wild rice.
