Cowboy Butter Cheese Mushrooms Recipe

Making of cowboy butter cheese mushrooms

• Prepare the mushrooms: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Gently clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel. Avoid washing them under running water, as they absorb too much moisture and become soggy. Carefully remove the stems by wiggling them back and forth until they pop out. Finely chop the stems and set them aside.
• Sauté the mushroom stems: Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped mushroom stems and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, until they have released their moisture and browned. Remove from the heat and let them cool slightly.
• Make the Butter: In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, chives, Dijon mustard, lemon zest, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, and smoked paprika. Mix all the herbs and spices until everything is incorporated. This butter is what you need as a base.
• In a large bowl, combine the cowboy butter, sautéed mushroom stems, panko breadcrumbs, and grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and black pepper. Stir until you have a thick, paste-like filling.
• Stuff the mushrooms: Arrange the mushroom caps on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Use the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to lightly brush the outside of each cap. Use a small spoon or your fingers to generously fill each mushroom cap with the cowboy butter mixture, mounding it on top.
• Bake to Perfection: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the topping is golden brown and crispy.
• Serve and Enjoy: Let the mushrooms cool for a few minutes before serving, as the filling gets merged properly. Fresh parsley or chives can be sprinkled on top to add flavour or chives for an extra touch of colour.
