Our Stuffed Mushrooms… but Better!

What’s make our stuffed mushrooms so flavorful? The key ingredient in these easy stuffed mushrooms is the Parmesan cheese. And, it is part of the bread crumb mixture.  

Parmesan cheese is one of the secret ingredient, and it adds a lot of richness and flavor. Making them so incredibly flavorful- 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!

Recipe Tips and Notes…

  • Make Ahead! Easy Stuffed Mushrooms are relatively easy to make ahead of time, then bake when your guests arrive.
  • Prep Work Easier! To help speed up the prep work, I used an electric mini chopper to help me finely chop the stems, onions, and garlic. This helps cut the prep time in half.
  • 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.

Ingredients Needed for Easy Stuffed Mushrooms:

For our easy Stuffed Mushrooms recipe, here are the ingredients you will need:

  • 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

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.

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.

    1. 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.
