Stuffed Mushroom Ingredients

Mushrooms

prepping button mushrooms for my stuffed mushroom recipe

I used white button mushrooms because they’re readily available, but you could use any type you like. Make sure you get the stems, too, because you’ll use them for the filling.

Red Onion

I love red onions because they’re so flavorful, but you could use any type of onion you have on hand.

Just make sure you chop them up finely so they’ll cook evenly. If you don’t have red onions, the best alternatives are white or shallots.

Garlic

Garlic is a key ingredient in this stuffed mushroom recipe. It adds a lot of flavor without being overpowering. If you don’t have fresh garlic, you could use garlic powder. Just add it to the bread crumbs before you stuff the mushrooms.

Butter

Butter is what makes these mushrooms so creamy and delicious. If you’re vegan or dairy-free, you could use olive oil or another type of vegetable oil.

Mozzarella Cheese

I used mozzarella cheese because it’s my favorite and makes the filling nice and gooey.

Depending on how much cheesy-ness you prefer, you can leave it and just use parmesan if you prefer.

Parmesan Cheese

Parmesan cheese gives these mushrooms their rich, savory, cheesy flavor. If you don’t have parmesan, you could use another grated hard cheese like romano or pecorino.

Bread Crumbs

I used whole wheat bread crumbs because they’re more fiber than white ones, but you could use either. You could use crushed crackers or oats if you don’t have any bread crumbs.

Egg

If you’re vegan or don’t eat eggs, you could use a flax egg instead. Just combine one tablespoon of ground flaxseed with three tablespoons of water and let it thicken for a few minutes.

The egg binds everything together and helps the filling stick to the mushrooms.

Italian Herb Mix

I used Italian herbs because they go so well with the other ingredients, but you could use any seasoning you like or make your own blend. Basil, oregano, and thyme would all be good choices.

How To Make This Stuffed Mushroom Recipe

Step 1

Start by removing the stems from the mushrooms. The best way to do this is to gently twist the stem to release it from the cap.

Then, finely chop the stems as well as the red onion.

Step 2

Heat a non-stick skillet with a splash of olive oil or a spritz of cooking spray and sautee the stems and onion. Add the garlic and cook until everything is soft.

Step 3

Meanwhile, melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl or a skillet over low heat. Once it’s melted, add the bread crumbs, mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, egg, and seasoning. Mix everything until well combined.

Step 4

Once the filling is mixed, stuff it into the mushrooms. Be generous with the filling – you want it to be heaping so that the mushrooms are nice and full.

Bake the mushrooms at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until they’re tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve warm, and enjoy!

Customizations

Make It Vegan

vegetarian stuffed mushroom recipe

  • To make this recipe vegan, substitute the butter for olive oil or another vegetable oil.
  • You’ll also need to use a flax egg instead of a regular one. To make a flax egg, combine one tablespoon of ground flaxseed with three tablespoons of water and let it thicken for a few minutes.
  • Lastly, you’ll need to swap the cheese out for vegan cheese. I suggest adding some nutritional yeast in place of the parmesan, as they have a similar texture.

Add More Protein

  • If you’re looking to increase your protein intake without increasing your fat, you could add tofu to the dish.
  • If you didn’t care about a slightly higher fat protein source, you could add cooked ground beef or sausage
  • In any case, sautee the protein source with the onions and garlic before adding it to the filling.

Make It Spicy

  • To make this recipe spicy, add some red pepper flakes or diced jalapenos to the filling. You could also use a hot sauce in place of the Italian seasoning.

How To Store & Meal Prep:

These mushrooms are best when served immediately.

However, you can store them in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the oven or microwave until they’re warmed through.
