Stuffed mushrooms remind me of being a little in my mom’s catering kitchen. I just remember her making thousands of these. And why wouldn’t she? They are incredibly easy to make and who doesn’t love a stuffed mushroom? The beauty of a stuffed mushroom is that you can put whatever you want inside. You can add some sausage or some ham, or change out the cheese. I am pretty sure that I have never made them the same way twice. Sometimes I do not even use the cream cheese. I just saute the mushroom bottoms, some shallots or onions, add breadcrumbs and a little Parmesan cheese.
Do you have big New Year’s Eve plans? I think that years of being a waitress has turned me off to leaving the house for the evening. I do love New Year’s, but I prefer to spend it at home. It seemed like for the first 5 years that I have been married, my husband was always on duty. The one year that we did actually go out, I had Ava 9 months later. These days, it is a kid friendly, fun, dinner and bed by 10. How times have changed.
24 mushrooms
2 shallots
4 cloves garlic
1/4 cup white wine
8 ounces cream cheese at room temperature
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
salt and pepper
1 teaspoon fresh thyme
1/4 cup flat leaf parsley chopped
Wipe the mushrooms off with a damp paper towel. Remove the stems and save them. Put the mushroom stems, shallots, and garlic in the food processor.
Pulse until it is finely chopped.
Saute the mushroom and shallot mixture in a large saute pan over medium high heat with 1 Tablespoon olive oil. Cook until the shallots are transparent and the mushroom begin to caramelize, about 5 to 7 minutes.
Add the white wine and let the wine cook out. Set aside and let cool slightly.
In a bowl, add the cream cheese, parsley (save a bit for garnish), and thyme.
Add the mushroom mixture to the cream cheese and mix until combined. Season with salt and pepper.
Put the mushroom caps on a baking sheet lined with tin foil. Fill the mushroom with the filling and sprinkle the top with the breadcrumbs.
Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 20 minutes. When the mushrooms are done, they will start to leak water and be hot all the way through.
Garnish the the remaining parsley.

I am Bree. I love to cook. Even more than I love to take pictures.
I used to hate mushrooms as a child and now they are one of my favorite foods! Funny how that works. I haven’t tried stuffed mushrooms yet, but I am going to have to try these. They look yummy! What other cheeses do you like to use?
blue, gouda, cheddar, asiago… any cheese tastes good with these.

Brought these little gems to the NYE party we were attending and got RAVE reviews. They were so delicious that after I stuffed all of the mushrooms I had about 1Tbsp of filling left in the bowl and my husband and I were fighting over it. Yum. I halved the recipe again and made 36 mushrooms and all were gone within minutes. Thanks Bree. Happy New Year to you and yours!
lol! glad that you liked them. That filling would be good on a bagel wouldn’t it?
I love the versatility of a stuffed mushroom! Stunning photos!

I made these last night. They were incredible! I have never made stuffed mushrooms before so I was a bit uncertain how they would turn out. They were perfect and I will be making these again. I’m going to blog about them today.

Just came across your website and have already fallen in love with it!! I love stuffed mushrooms and I found your recipe for these. I usually make them during the holidays and this combination of flavors sounds wonderful! I have not used cream cheese before. I can’t wait to try them!
Welcome Karen!
Hi–do you think it would work to assemble the mushrooms but wait to bake them until the next day? I’m trying to do as much ahead of time as possible for a party we’re having this weekend. Love your website, by the way!
I would make the filling and then fill and bake them off. I would be afraid that the mushroom would get soggy.
Like it, ty very much!

Hi there. I just discovered your blog yesterday and it was just in time. I LOVE IT. I am having a dinner party tomorrow night and decided to make these mushrooms and the Easy Bake Pasta. I just finished preparing them. It worked out perfectly because I could prepare, refrigerate and then just bake tomorrow. I plan to do a blog post with my results! Thanks so much. Your blog is so well organized and use friendly!

Hi!
Can we sub the white wine with something else? Or can I just leave it out?
Leave it out or use chicken stock.
