Everything to Love About This Recipe

You won't believe how easy these stuffed mushrooms are to make. Just mix your filling stuff and bake no precooking needed. The parmesan herbs and garlic create such amazing flavor in every bite. Plus you can easily switch up the fillings to make them vegetarian or add your favorite protein.

What You Need

Start with some brown mushrooms like cremini or baby bella they have such great flavor. You'll need Italian breadcrumbs aged parmesan for that nutty salty kick and fresh parsley and basil. A little minced garlic adds the perfect touch of spice and olive oil helps everything get golden and crispy.

Making Your Stuffed Mushrooms

Clean those mushrooms well and pop out the stems. Make sure they're nice and dry before stuffing. Mix your breadcrumbs parmesan garlic herbs and olive oil in a bowl. Fill each mushroom cap with a generous mound of filling but don't pack it too tight. Bake them at 400°F for about 20 minutes until they're beautifully golden on top.

Mix Up The Flavors

Love vegetables? Try adding spinach onions or peppers to your filling. Want them extra cheesy? Mix in some mozzarella or cream cheese. Spice things up with red pepper flakes or jalapeños. For meat lovers cooked sausage or crispy bacon bits make amazing additions.

My Secret Tips

Don't overfill your mushrooms or the topping might get too crispy and dry. Fresh herbs really do make a difference in flavor. Give your baking pan a light coating of oil it helps the mushrooms brown beautifully on the bottom and prevents sticking.

Keeping Them Fresh

Your stuffed mushrooms will stay good in the fridge for about 3 days just store them in an airtight container. Warm them up in the oven at 325°F or use the microwave for quick reheating. You can even prep them 3 days ahead just fill the caps and keep them in the fridge until you're ready to bake.
