Instructions
Creating Stuffed Mushroom Eyeballs is quite straightforward. Just follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Mushrooms: Clean the mushrooms gently with a damp cloth. Remove the stems and set aside.
3. Make the Filling: In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, minced garlic, chopped parsley, Italian seasoning, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
4. Stuff the Mushrooms: Fill each mushroom cap generously with the cheese mixture. Make sure to pack it in well.
5. Place on Baking Sheet: Arrange the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle a little olive oil over the tops for extra flavor.
6. Bake Mushrooms: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the mushrooms are tender.
7. Add the Eyeball Effect: Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Place a sliced black olive in the center of each stuffed mushroom to create the appearance of an ‘eyeball’.
8. Serve Warm: These are best served warm from the oven.
By following these steps, you will end up with a delightful dish that looks and tastes amazing!
