What are the best mushrooms to use?

We like using a bite size white mushroom for these but a baby bella mushroom also works great. The quantity will depend on the size of your mushrooms. If you use a large mushroom cap you will get 12-13. This size is great for a sit down appetizer where you have a knife and fork. If you use a very small mushroom cap you may get 30-36.

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 tough texture.

Ingredients

Scale

24 button mushrooms, medium sized, de-stemmed and cleaned

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
Place a wire cooling rack on a rimmed baking sheet and place mushroom caps top-side down on top of the rack.
Salt and pepper mushroom caps to taste.
In a medium bowl combine goat cheese and cream cheese. Stir together. We like using a hand mixer for this step but this can be done by hand.
Add chopped parsley, chopped green onion, and chopped thyme to the cheese mixture. Mix until well combined.
Fill each mushroom cap with the herb cheese mixture. It is okay to heap the mixture in the mushroom cap, the cheese will melt and cook down a little.
Carefully place baking sheet with stuffed mushrooms into a 400 degree oven for 20-25 minutes until mushrooms are cooked through and cheese is melted.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Mushrooms tend to roll, so be careful.
Garnish with some chopped parsley or green onions. (optional)
Serve warm.

Notes

Substitutions and Additions. This is a great starting recipe for stuffed mushrooms - so make them your own! Use feta, gruyere, parm, or swiss instead of the goat cheese. Add some veggies to the cheese mixture; spinach, kale, peppers. Mix in some cooked sausage or bacon.

A rimmed baking sheet with a wire rack inside will help prevent the mushrooms from rolling too much when moving from the counter to the oven and back. The rimmed sheet will also help prevent any oven spills from melting cheese or liquid from the mushrooms as they bake.
