  3. In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, diced jalapenos, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  4. Using a spoon or piping bag, fill each mushroom cap with the cheesy mixture, being careful not to overstuff.
  5. Sprinkle breadcrumbs on top of each filled mushroom and drizzle with olive oil.

Notes

For a milder dish, use less jalapeno or substitute with roasted red peppers. Allow cream cheese to soften at room temperature for easier mixing. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to a month. To reheat, warm in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes.
