Tips

• If you don’t want to use the mushroom stems in this recipe, you can save them for other dishes like soups, sauces, and stir fries.
• To store these mushrooms after cooking, keep them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They should be good for up to 5 days.
• For reheating, the microwave is a good option, but popping them back in the oven for about 10 minutes is a great way to restore them to their post-baking yumminess!

 

Variations

• For an added crunch on top, mix the shredded cheese with some breadcrumbs.
• Parmesan cheese or mozzarella are other great options for the topping.
• Sprinkle with some paprika or cayenne pepper for extra color and added warmth.
• There are so many ingredients that would be fantastic additions to these mushrooms. Try them with bacon, spinach, onion, or sausage!

 

 

FAQs

Why are my stuffed mushrooms watery?

• This typically happens due to ingredients that are used for the filling, but because none of the ingredients in this recipe contain much excess water, you shouldn’t have too many issues. Be sure to sauté the mushroom stems until a lot of the liquid has cooked away.

Can I freeze stuffed mushrooms?

• Absolutely! You can stuff the mushrooms and then freeze them to be baked at a later time, or if you have leftovers you can freeze them and reheat them later. I would recommend cooking them as close to serving as possible, so it’s a great option to make them ahead of time and then pop them in the freezer for a couple of days. Just be aware that cooking time may vary when cooking from frozen.

How do you know when mushrooms are bad?

• Typically, mushrooms will develop a slimy sort of layer once they’ve gone bad. Their color may also darken. At this point, if the mushrooms are already cooked, it’s probably time to get rid of them!
