Special Scallion 'Shrooms

• 12 large (2 1/2-inch-diameter) cremini or white mushrooms with stems
• 1/3 cup finely chopped white or yellow onion
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 3 ounces (a little less than 1/2 cup) cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
• 1 scallion, white and green parts, chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon table salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper. Remove stems from mushrooms and chop them finely. Reserve 1/2 cup minced stems.
2. In a small skillet over medium-high heat, cook mushroom stems, onions, and minced garlic in the oil, stirring occasionally, until browned and softened, for about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool for about 5 minutes. In a small mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, parmesan cheese, parsley, 1 tablespoon green onions, salt, black pepper, cayenne, and cooled mushroom/onion mixture until evenly mixed. Spoon a heaping teaspoon of filling into the mushroom cavities and arrange on the lined baking sheet, cavity side up.
3. Place baking sheet in center rack of oven, and bake 20-23 minutes, or until filling is lightly golden brown on top and mushrooms are tender. Remove from oven and let cool on baking sheet for at least 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with remaining green onions. Serve warm or at room temperature.
