Stuffed Mushrooms


Ingredients
15 large button mushrooms, wiped clean
1/4 red bell pepper, diced
1/4 sweet yellow onion, diced
2 cloves of garlic, minced
3-4 tbsp Parmesan cheese, shredded (divided)
1 tbsp mozzarella cheese, shredded
2 tbsp fresh basil, chopped
1/2 block of low fat cream cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp Italian style bread crumbs

Steps
Preheat oven to 375 degrees and spray a tin foil lined baking sheet with cooking spray. Wipe the mushrooms clean with a damp towel then carefully remove stems. Add the mushroom stems, bell pepper, onion and garlic to a food processor and mix until chopped finely. Combine mushroom mixture in a large bowl with 2 tablespoons of Parmesan, mozzarella, basil, cream cheese, salt and pepper. Taste and re-season if needed. Scoop filling into mushroom caps. Sprinkle bread crumbs and remaining Parmesan on top of each mushroom and place on baking sheet. Bake uncovered in the oven for 15-20 minutes.
