Description
These golden, savory stuffed mushrooms are the perfect bite-sized appetizer. Made with a simple breadcrumb, garlic, and Parmesan filling, they’re easy to prepare, endlessly customizable, and guaranteed to disappear fast at parties or family gatherings.
Ingredients
16 cremini (baby bella) or white button mushrooms
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (plus extra for garnish)
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
Optional Add-Ins
2 tablespoons cream cheese or goat cheese (for creamier filling)
Pinch of red pepper flakes (for heat)
¼ cup cooked sausage, bacon, or spinach (for variety)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Clean mushrooms with a damp paper towel. Remove stems and finely chop them.
In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped stems and garlic. Cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
Remove from heat. Stir in breadcrumbs, Parmesan, parsley, salt, and pepper until mixture is combined and slightly moistened.
Brush mushroom caps with remaining olive oil. Fill each cap with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly.
Arrange on the baking sheet and bake for 18–20 minutes, or until mushrooms are tender and tops are golden brown.
Garnish with extra parsley and serve warm.
Notes
For best results, don’t overcrowd the baking sheet—this helps mushrooms cook evenly.
Try large portobello mushrooms if you’d like to make a main dish version.
Stuffed mushrooms can be prepped ahead of time and baked just before serving.
Leftovers reheat best in the oven, not the microwave, to keep the filling crisp.
