What makes these stuffed mushrooms for flavorful?
The key ingredient in these easy stuffed mushrooms is the Parmesan cheese mixed in the stuffing. It adds a lot of richness and flavor to them, making them so yummy, they’re restaurant-quality without a lot of fuss and without a lot of ingredients!
Mushrooms are basically very healthy for you. They’re low in carbs, calories and fat-free.
Plus, they contain many vitamins such as C, D, B6, and B12 as well as minerals. A Win-Win!
Here are a few Good Tips and Notes…
- Easy Stuffed Mushrooms are relatively easy to make ahead of time, then bake and freeze.
- I used an electric mini chopper to help me in the prep work, finely chopping the stems, onions, and garlic, cutting the prep time in half.
- Then I stuff each cap generously and pop them into the oven.
- Can we FREEZE Them? Stuffed mushrooms freeze well after baking. Allow them to cool completely before covering and storing in the fridge or freezing.
- How to REHEAT? You can easily reheat mushrooms straight from the freezer, in a low-heated oven, uncovered for about 30 minutes.
We enjoy making these bites-size stuffed mushrooms and serving them at parties as hors d’oeuvres. We also love them as a side dish to compliment any meat dishes on holidays.
These are always the first appetizer that disappears as soon as they hit the table.
ENJOY!!

Ingredients for these EASY Stuffed Mushrooms:
- 1 large package (24 ounces) white mushrooms
- 1 cup plain whole wheat bread crumbs (or GF bread crumbs)
- 1 small onion – finely chopped
- 4 large garlic cloves – minced
- 1/4 tsp. black pepper
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 3 Tbsp. Parmigiano-Reggiano grated cheese
- optional: 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
- extra Parmigiano grated cheese for topping
Directions to Make Easy Stuffed Mushrooms:
1. Preheat oven to 350 F degrees (180C). Thoroughly wash each mushroom, gently rubbing and removing dirt. Allow them to drain for a few minutes.
2. Pop the stems and remove them from caps and set aside.
3. Chop stems finely along with garlic and onion. Place into a small bowl. Add whole-wheat breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, Parmigiano cheese, and olive oil. Mix all ingredients well. The mixture should be moist, not dry. If needed, add more olive oil until you reached a moist breadcrumb mixture.
4. Using a teaspoon, spoon mixture into the caps of each mushroom, creating a slight dome. Continue to stuff until all the mixture is gone, even creating higher dome is fine too.
5. Using a foil or glass baking tray, lightly coat the bottom with cooking spray. Carefully arrange the mushroom caps in a single layer on the prepared tray. Sprinkle with extra grated Parmesan cheese (about a half teaspoon per cap) on top of each mushroom.
6. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes in the oven at 350 degrees F. Bake until the mushrooms are soft when pierced with a fork and the filling is golden brown. Remove and serve.
Yields: 23 medium-size stuffed mushroom caps or 45 small ones

Notes
Keep in mind, all ovens vary. Electric ovens and gas ones heat differently, so the baking times will vary as well. it's best to test a mushroom cap with a fork or knife to see if they are tender (or softened) to the bite.

I made these, but I wanted a low carb version. So, I eliminated the wheat and added pancetta and cream cheese. They came out fantastic!!!! Thank you!!!

What can I replace olive oil with? My son is allergic to all olive oil.
Thank
Hi Amiee, so sorry to hear about his allergies but I totally understand and have a daughter with allergies to certain foods as well.
If he is not allergic to other oils , then try a different one to replace the olive oil in this recipe. I'm not sure but maybe you can try canola oil, or melted butter, or even vegetable oil. I hope this helps.
I love stuffed mushrooms and NEED a great tried and true recipe! Thanks for sharing yours! Happy spring to both of you!
Hugs,
Roz
Thank you Roz! Have a great week!
