Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms with Cream Cheese and Parmesan Recipe

Introduction

Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms are a delicious and satisfying appetizer or side dish. Filled with a creamy, flavorful mixture, these mushrooms roast to perfection with a golden, bubbly top. They’re easy to prepare and perfect for any occasion.

Three stuffed mushrooms are arranged on a round white plate set on a white marbled surface. Each mushroom forms the base layer, showing a dark brown, slightly textured cap with small spots of black. On top of each mushroom is a thick, creamy beige filling that is fluffy and slightly browned at the edges, with small green herb pieces sprinkled across the top. The filling sits mounded and rounded on the mushrooms, creating a soft, inviting contrast in texture and color. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I prepare these mushrooms ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the stuffed mushrooms up to a day in advance, keep them refrigerated, and bake just before serving.

Can I use other types of mushrooms?

Portobellos are ideal for stuffing due to their size and structure, but you can try large white or cremini mushrooms for a smaller bite-sized version.
