Ingredients and Variations

Mushrooms – Look for whole, uniformly sized white or brown mushrooms with one or two bites for the best presentation. For a side dish or entrée, cheese-stuffed mushrooms can be prepared in portobellos.

Filling – Cream cheese is the perfect vehicle for any seasonings or spices, but feel free to use blue cheese crumbles, Boursin, Alouette, or Rondele pre-seasoned cheese spreads to save some time if desired.

Variations – Mix in Italian sausage, bacon bits, crab, or smoked salmon. Add some chopped spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, diced bell peppers, or finely chopped broccoli to the mix.

Experiment with bold flavors and stir in a little buffalo sauce, Cajun seasoning , or a splash of sriracha!

Storing Tips

Keep leftover stuffed mushrooms in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the air fryer or under the broiler.

Prep cheese-stuffed mushrooms up to a day ahead or bake them, chill them, and reheat as desired. They can also be prepped and frozen in a single layer and transferred to a zippered bag. Simply add a few minutes to the air fryer when cooking from frozen.

    I made these in three portabello mushroom caps. Of course I have a lot of filling left over, but I plan to use it spread on Ritz crackers for lunch. I didn’t bother precooking the stems; I just chapped them up and added them to the cream cheese mixture to give it a little crunch. However, the biggest problem is the cream cheese was so difficult to stir I couldn’t get the other ingredients mixed in. I add about half a cup of sour cream to the mixture, and that softened it enough that I could stir it. The final flavor was wonderful.
