How To Make Stuffed Mushrooms Recipe
Although they look impressive and impress everyone on your dinner table, these stuffed mushrooms are super easy to prepare by following a few simple steps. Here is everything you need to do:
Preparing The Mushrooms
Prepare the mushrooms by giving them a quick rinse under cold water, then gently pat them dry with a paper towel to remove any excess water. Set the mushrooms aside while you prepare the stuffing.
Making The Creamy Stuffing Mixture
Remove the mushroom stems, creating a hollow cavity in each cap. Finely chop the stems and set them aside.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced onion and cook for about 3 minutes until tender. Then, add the chopped mushroom stems and minced garlic. Stir until well combined and cook for an additional 5 minutes until soft and fragrant.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and let it cool for a few minutes.
Once the stuffing mixture has cooled slightly, add softened cream cheese, bread crumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, an egg, and a dash of pepper. Mix everything together thoroughly until all the ingredients are well combined.
Stuffing The Mushrooms
Now it’s time to stuff the mushrooms. Arrange the mushroom caps on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced. Generously fill each mushroom cap with the prepared stuffing mixture, gently pressing it in.
Sprinkle each stuffed mushroom with a generous amount of grated Parmesan cheese, allowing it to create a delicious golden crust during baking.
Baking Stuffed Mushrooms
Place the baking sheet with the stuffed mushrooms in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the tops are golden brown and slightly crispy.
Once the stuffed mushrooms are baked to perfection, remove them from the oven and garnish with fresh chopped parsley for a burst of color and added freshness.
Serve these mouthwatering stuffed mushrooms as an appetizer, side dish, or even as a main course. They make a delightful addition to any meal or gathering and are sure to be enjoyed by all!
Tips For Making The Best Stuffed Mushrooms Recipe
- Make sure you use larger mushrooms for this recipe since they are easier to stuff.
- Clean the mushrooms properly. Before stuffing the mushrooms, make sure that you gently wipe the mushroom caps with a damp paper towel to remove any excess water.
- Don’t overstuff the mushrooms. Avoid overstuffing the mushrooms to ensure they cook evenly and don’t overflow during baking.
- Season generously: Don’t be afraid to season the filling mixture with herbs, spices, or even a touch of hot sauce to add depth and complexity to the flavors.
- Keep an eye on the cooking time. We all know that mushrooms cook relatively quickly, so keep an eye on the baking time closely.
Recipe Variations
- Add some crumbled bacon to the filling for extra flavor and a crunchy texture.
- Top the stuffed mushrooms with your favorite cheeses such as Gruyere, brie, mozzarella cheese, or a combo of cheeses.
- You can add 2 tbsp of fresh chopped parsley or cilantro to the filling mixture.
Storing Ideas
- Fridge: you can store the stuffed mushroom leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- Freezer: another great option for storing these leftovers is freezing them. Just place any leftovers in an airtight container and freeze for up to one month. When ready to eat, reheat in the oven or microwave for about 5 minutes.
