The ultimate holiday appetizer! This easy Maple-Cranberry Baked Brie is a gooey, show-stopping centerpiece wrapped in flaky puff pastry. Simple & impressive!
Ingredients
-
16–20 Cremini or White Mushrooms – Firm, closed caps form perfect cups
-
1 package Boursin Cheese (Garlic & Fine Herbs) – The flavor superstar
-
1/4 cup Breadcrumbs – Adds structure and light crunch
-
2 tbsp Chopped Fresh Parsley – Bright, fresh flavor
-
1 tbsp Olive Oil – Helps bind and enriches the filling
-
Salt & Pepper to Taste – Keep it balanced; Boursin is already salty
-
Optional: Grated Parmesan – For a golden-brown, savory top
Chef’s Insight: Can’t find Boursin? Mix 8 oz cream cheese with 1 minced garlic clove, 1 tbsp each chives, dill, parsley, and a pinch of salt & pepper.
Instructions
1. Preheat & Prep
-
Oven: 375°F (190°C)
-
Line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicone mat for easy cleanup.
2. Clean & Prep Mushrooms
-
Wipe mushrooms gently (don’t rinse!).
-
Pop out stems; chop reserved stems and add to filling.
3. Make the Filling
-
In a medium bowl, combine Boursin, breadcrumbs, parsley, olive oil (and chopped stems if using).
-
Mash with a fork until thick and spoonable. Season with black pepper.
4. Stuff the Mushrooms
-
Spoon filling into mushroom caps, mounding slightly.
-
Place on the baking sheet; keep some space between each.
5. Add the Golden Touch (Optional)
-
Sprinkle a little Parmesan on top for a gorgeous, golden finish.
6. Bake
-
Bake 20–22 minutes until mushrooms are tender and tops golden.
Notes

Over-stuffing = a tasty, happy mess; line your sheet!

These mushrooms are versatile—a blank canvas for your cravings.

Boursin makes flavor effortless; no extra herb chopping required.
