Please enjoy this Classic Stuffed Mushrooms recipe from the “Five Make-Ahead Party Appetizers for Stress-Free Hosting” video that was recently published on my YouTube channel (click here to watch). The mushrooms in question are so outrageously delicious that I could make a whole meal of them. As you will see from the video and the printable recipe, these handsome appetizers are easy to make!
Classic Stuffed Mushrooms
Serve these at your next cocktail party, and watch them disappear! The stuffed mushrooms can be prepared a day ahead of time. Just cover and refrigerate, and then bake as directed.
Servings: 20 appetizers
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 Lbs. baby bella mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 teaspoons garlic paste (or, use 2-3 minced cloves of garlic)
- 1/4 cup (40g) plain, dried breadcrumbs
- Coarse salt and grinds of black pepper
- 1/4 cup (a small handful) grated Asiago or Parmesan cheese
- 4 ounces (114g) softened cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh, chopped parsley (plus more for garnish)
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Remove stems from mushroom caps. Finely chop the stems.
- Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped mushroom stems and saute until almost all of the moisture from the stems has evaporated -- about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and saute for just 30 seconds. Add the breadcrumbs, and let them "toast" in the skillet until they are lightly browned -- about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Transfer the mushroom stem mixture to a bowl. Then stir in the cheese, the cream cheese, and the parsley. Stir thoroughly -- the mixture should just hold its shape when pressed between fingers. Use a small cookie scoop to fill the mushroom caps.
- If you are not planning to bake the stuffed mushrooms right away, cover and refrigerate them for up to 1 day. When you are ready to bake, preheat the oven as directed in step one.
- Bake in the preheated until the mushroom caps are tender and the filling is golden brown -- 20-25 minutes.

Love your show! It’s so relaxing hearing you talk and listening to the music. Could you mention the name(s) of the people who play and sing those lovely songs when you are traveling in your car?

I love your show, everything is so beautiful and peaceful which is what I love and the recipe’s look delicious, I have to start trying them myself. I use to love to cook and still do but at my age my energy is not what it use to be.
