Equipment

Mixing bowl
Baking sheet
Parchment paper
Pastry brush

Ingredients

24 whole cremini or button mushrooms, stems removed (approximately 1 lb or 450g)
8 ounces cream cheese, softened (227g)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (120g)
½ cup diced ham (75g)
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (25g)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (30g)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (15ml)
½ teaspoon onion powder (2.5ml)
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth and carefully remove the stems. Set the caps aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, diced ham, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and onion powder. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to your liking.
Fill each mushroom cap with a generous amount of the ham and cheese mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the filling is secure.
Place the stuffed mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet and lightly brush the tops with melted butter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the tops are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

For a crispier top, place the stuffed mushrooms under the broiler for the final 2-3 minutes of cooking.

If cremini mushrooms are not available, white button mushrooms make a great substitute.

Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother filling.

These Keto Ham and Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator until ready to bake, making them perfect for entertaining.
