What mushrooms work best?

We like using a bite size white mushroom (also called a button mushroom) or a baby bella mushroom for these mushrooms with goat cheese appetizer. Larger mushroom caps are great for a sit down appetizer where you have a knife and fork.

Can you freeze the mushrooms?

We don’t recommend freezing the mushroom caps for this dish. We find they can get mushy and have a rubbery texture. You can freeze the cheese mixture in advance and use when ready to stuff the mushrooms.

How many mushrooms can this cheese mixture make?

The amount you can make with this recipe will depend on the size of your mushrooms. If you use a large mushroom cap you will have enough cheese mixture for 12-13 goat cheese mushroom caps. If you use a bite size mushroom cap you may have enough cheese mixture for 30-36 mushroom caps.

Instructions

Heat oven to 425°F.
Place mushroom caps top-side down in a baking dish. You can also use a rimmed baking sheet.
In a medium bowl combine cream cheese, goat cheese, diced shallot, parsley, and dry sherry. Stir together until well combined.
Salt and pepper to taste.
Fill each mushroom cap with cheese mixture. It is okay to heap the mixture in the mushroom cap, the cheese will melt and cook down a little.
Place baking dish with stuffed mushrooms into a 425°F oven for 20-25 minutes until mushrooms are cooked through and cheese is melted.
Garnish with some chopped parsley and serve warm.

Notes

Substitutions and Additions. Make these your own! Use feta, gruyere, parmesan, or swiss cheese instead of the goat cheese. We don't recommend replacing the cream cheese. Add some veggies to the cheese mixture; spinach, kale, peppers. Mix in some crispy bacon or prosciutto. Use white wine instead of sherry. For an alcohol free version, omit the sherry altogether.

Garnish. These are great garnished with chopped parsley. Get creative and garnish with some diced, roasted red peppers, parmesan cheese, or crispy bacon or prosciutto.
