Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly oil a rimmed baking sheet.
In a food processor, pulse bread and garlic until fine crumbs form; set 1/2 cup aside. To food processor, add goat cheese, parsley, and red-pepper flakes. Season with salt, and pulse filling until combined.
Spoon filling into each mushroom, and roll filled side in reserved breadcrumbs. Place on prepared baking sheet; bake until mushrooms are tender and lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes.
Glad to be here and learn about this.:)

These tasted great to those goat cheese-lovers in the crowd. A simple, great idea.
These are to DIE for! I used a whole wheat honey bread instead of white bread and it still tasted amazing. They were gone in minutes!
Made these for a dinner party the other night -- so delicious. I only used 2 slices of bread and still had plenty of crumbs left over.
LOVED IT!
I used bought breadcrumbs and they still turned out beautifully. Also, I added a dollop of pesto to the mix. It was gorgeous!
These were a huge hit at the New Year's Day party I attended! I took the advice of others and added chopped nuts to the goat cheese mixture..the ones I used were 'sweet and spicy' mixed nuts leftover from Christmas. Also, after baking, I drizzled the mushrooms with a balsalmic glaze and tossed some "hand- crushed" nuts over the dish. Very pretty!
This is a delicious recipe that can be tailored to your tastes. I used thyme and rosemary instead of parsley. I also added some crumbled bacon and shredded aged goat cheese for a more complex flavor. Even the leftovers tasted good reheated the next day. The 2nd time making this recipe, I assembled the mushrooms the night before and baked just before serving. What a disaster! The filling became gummy and was an unpleasant color. So to the previous post, do not make these ahead of time!
Has anyone made these a day or two ahead of a party ? How do you store these ? thanks

Thanks for the tip on the crushed walnuts. My wife is not a fan of garlic and I cut it way down. The crushed walnuts gave the recipe a great added flavour and she loved them. Was the start of a great night. Thanks again!
add a dollup of fig preserves or honey on top after baking... the sweet cuts the tart in the goat cheese. very yummy. and chopped walnuts add a little texture as well.
this looks incredible! Im making this with another stuffed mushroom appetizer for my bday bbq this weekend~http://www.fourgreensteps.com/community/recipes/appetizers/stuffed-butto...
I made these for a group of my girl friends and everyone loved them. I took the advice from the below comments and added bacon and it made them very tasty. I also used garlic basil goat cheese instead of plain and it gave it much more flavor. I will use these again for sure.
THese are quick, easy, and very tasty! The white bread is brilliant b/c it holds everything together. At first, I was going to toast it b/c I thought it was suppoed to be like bread crumbs, but the doughy consistency is actually what makes the recipe work well. Really good!
Easy and great for company. I always add a little extra garlic too.
It tasted good. Definetely next time I will add some bacon.
I made this recipe as an appetizer for THanksgiving and it was a big hit! I followed the recipe as is and it was very tasty. If you flavored goat cheese, it makes a difference. I will definately make this again.
I agree with LambyandLukie. I pulsed in 4 strips of cooked bacon, 2 fresh basil leaves, and cracked pepper. This seemed to give it the 'kick' it needed. It is a versatile recipe which may be adjusted to one's taste. If you have many guests, use smaller button mushrooms. If you like a cheesy flavor, use larger mushroom caps, which will accommodate more filling.
These are easy and taste good (especially if you like goat cheese) but they are not exceptional. If I make these again I would try adding something else for more flavor (maybe bacon???).

I wanted to prepare these on Saturday and bake them off on Sunday before serving - does anyone know if they will hold up well over night?
