Made with white button or baby bella mushrooms, Italian breadcrumbs, Parmesan, mozzarella and simple seasonings, they’re warm, cheesy and incredibly easy to prepare. Best of all, you can assemble the stuffed mushrooms ahead of time and bake them before your guests arrive.

Why I love these for entertaining:

They’re easy to make and use simple ingredients.
You can prepare them ahead of time.
They’re easy to adapt with sausage, crab, spinach or other fillings.
They’re bite-sized, so guests can easily enjoy them as an appetizer.

How to Make Easy Stuffed Mushrooms

STEP 1:

Start with white button or baby bella mushrooms. Remove the stems and finely chip them for the filling.

STEP 2:

Combine chopped mushroom stems with 3/4 cup of Italian style breadcrumbs, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp pepper, 1 tsp granulated garlic, 1 tsp crushed red pepper, 1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil, and 1/4 cup of grated parmesan. Stir together.

Step 3:

Fill the caps using a small scoop.

Step 4:

Spread mozzarella over the top (1/2 cup). In addition, sprinkle a tsp of Italian seasoning over the top for a bit of color.

Step 5:

Bake at 350°F for about 25 minutes, until the mushrooms are tender and the cheese is melted and lightly golden.

They’re also one of my favorite appetizers for a lasagna dinner party because they’re easy to prepare before guests arrive.

Easy Stuffed Mushroom Variations

Sausage stuffed mushrooms – add 1/2 cup crumbled sweet or hot sausage to the mix for meat lovers.
Use leftover Thanksgiving stuffing with a half cup of the chopped mushrooms and sausage to create a holiday leftovers stuffed mushroom.
Crab stuffed mushrooms – use 1/3 cup diced imitation crab and 1/3 cup cream cheese added to the original recipe to make a sea inspired version.
Take a true shortcut and scoop one half cup of ready made spinach and artichoke dip into the mixture (removing the grated parm) and top with white cheddar.
For a garlic flavored recipe, mince up two cloves of garlic and add them to the mix!
