Ingredients:

• 12 oz cremini or button mushrooms
• 4 oz goat cheese
• 2-3 oz whipped cream cheese
• 1/2 TBSP fresh parsley
• 1 TBSP fresh chopped scallions or chives
• 1/4 cup Italian-seasoned panko optional
• extra virgin olive oil for drizzling (optional)
• sweet balsamic glaze for drizzling

Instructions:

1. First up, do you have a hand mixer? FAB! Use it to whip your goat cheese into fluffy amazingness.
2. You could also use a small food processor to do the trick or let the goat cheese get ultra soft at room temperature, add a little drizzle of honey, and mix it up with some elbow grease and a fork.  Game on.
3. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F.
4. Clean mushrooms with a damp paper towel + remove stems.
5. If using panko, lightly toast it by bringing a skillet to medium high heat with a drizzle of oil. Add panko and toast until golden, stirring frequently for about 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside.
6. Combine goat cheese, whipped cream cheese, green onion, parsley, and mix well. A drizzle of honey would also be delicious here!
7. Spoon a dollop into each mushroom. You can also add the filling to a piping bag or plastic bag with the edge cut off and pipe the filling into the shrooms <– this method is super speedy if you’re making a bunch!
8. Arrange on a baking sheet lined with foil and bake at 350 degrees F for approx. 15-20 minutes, or until filling is warm and mushrooms are tender.
9. Top with panko (optional) and garnish the tray with some extra parsley for a burst of color. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and you’re good to go!
10. Dig in and devour while they’re hot!
