Easy Stuffed Mushrooms Recipe

Stuffed mushrooms is a very popular hot appetizer.  This easy stuffed mushrooms recipe makes such tasty stuffed mushrooms – they are the hit of the party and disappear off the plate immediately!

This stuffed mushrooms recipe uses white button mushroom caps stuffed with a mixture of cream cheese, garlic, parmesan cheese, cooked mushroom stems and chopped green onions.  The filling for the stuffed mushrooms is so rich and full of flavor, and complements the mushrooms perfectly.  The mushrooms are stuffed with this yummy filling and then baked in the oven until piping hot and golden brown.

For a low stress entertaining, this stuffed mushrooms recipe can be made ahead.  Just assemble the stuffed mushrooms a day or two before the party, then cover and refrigerate.   About 40 minutes before the party, take the stuffed mushrooms out of the refrigerator and bake.  Another even lazier way to make stuffed mushrooms ahead is to make the stuffed mushroom recipe the whole way through, including baking.  You can refrigerate the stuffed mushrooms, then simply put them on a plate and reheat them in the microwave before the party.

To store stuffed mushrooms in the refrigerator, put them on a large plate in a single layer, then cover with the plastic wrap and refrigerate.  If you don’t have space in the refrigerator for a large plate of stuffed mushrooms, you can store stuffed mushrooms in a smaller container.  The trick to storing stuffed mushrooms in multiple layers is to separate each layer of stuffed mushrooms with parchment paper, so the mushrooms don’t stick together.
