Ingredients and Variations
Mushrooms: For perfectly uniform-looking stuffed mushrooms, use white or brown button mushrooms (aka baby ‘bellas). Smaller mushrooms equal one bite or larger caps can be two bites, either size will look good on a serving platter!
Filling: Cream cheese is the standard here, but you can also try pre-seasoned Boursin, Rondele, or Alouette to save a little time. Blue cheese has a fabulous flavor when it’s mixed with cream cheese, get creative with what’s on hand!
Meat Variations: Make ‘em meaty and mix in cooked ground sausage or chicken, bacon bits, smoked salmon, crab, or bay shrimp! Make ‘em keto and omit the breadcrumbs in favor of extra parmesan cheese!
Veggie Variations: Chop the mushroom stems up and mix them into the cream cheese, or make a filling with chopped spinach and water chestnuts, chopped sundried tomatoes and kalamata olives, or even sliced jalapenos and shredded cheddar cheese.

Stuffed Mushrooms
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 pound mushrooms brown or white, about 16 mushrooms
Filling
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- ¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese or grated
- 3 Tablespoons chives chopped, or 1 green onion, finely minced
- 1½ teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 clove garlic minced, or ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Topping
- 3 Tablespoons seasoned breadcrumbs or breadcrumbs plus ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning or Italian dressing mix
- 1½ Tablespoons butter melted
- 1 Tablespoon shredded Parmesan cheese or grated
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking tray or dish with parchment paper, or grease the baking tray.
- Clean mushrooms and remove the stems (keep stems for other uses or discard). Place the mushroom caps on baking tray with the cavity side up.
- In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, Parmesan, chives, Worcestershire, garlic, salt, and pepper. Using a hand mixer on medium, or a fork, mix until well combined.
- Fill mushrooms using a small scoop or spoon. Alternatively, add filling to a small zip top bag, snip the corner and pipe filling into the mushroom caps.
- In a small bowl, combine bread crumbs, butter, and Parmesan. Sprinkle topping over the stuffed mushrooms.
- Bake until mushrooms are tender and the topping is lightly browned, about 17-20 minutes.
- Cool 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Choose large, firm mushrooms like cremini or button mushrooms. Smaller mushrooms may take less baking time.
- Enhance the cream cheese filling with minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, fresh herbs, or cooked and crumbled bacon.
- Pre-cook the mushroom caps briefly by sautéing or baking them to ensure tenderness and remove excess moisture.
- Experiment with toppings like breadcrumbs or grated cheese, and consider drizzling melted butter or olive oil for added richness before baking.
- If using an air fryer, cook at 350°F for 6-8 minutes.
