Vegetarian Stuffed Mushrooms

These Vegetarian Stuffed Mushrooms are my go-to for entertaining. I can't get enough of the cheesy, garlicky filling, but the real star is the sun-dried tomatoes. I think you will love this recipe as much as I do.

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces mushroom caps
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil or oil of choice

  • ¼ cup parmesan cheese rennet free

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Notes

Tips for Making Veggie Stuffed Mushrooms

  • Don't skip transferring the mushrooms to a paper towel after the first cook. (Prior to stuffing.) The first time I made stuffed mushrooms, I didn't think there was any excess liquid and almost skipped this step. Boy, was I wrong!  A few minutes later, the paper towels were completely saturated.
  • These stuffed mushrooms may be made up to a day ahead of time. Keep them covered in the refrigerator until you are ready to bake them.

Variations for Vegetarian Stuffed Mushroom Caps

  • Buy mushrooms with the caps on. Trim the stems and dice. Cook with the onions for 2 to 3 minutes.
  • In place of the cream cheese, use sour cream.
  • Sauté’ 1 cup of baby spinach. Use a clean dish towel and squeeze out excess moisture. Chop fine. Add to the sun-dried tomato mixture.
  • Omit the cheese and instead top the mushrooms with gluten-free breadcrumbs.
  • To make Vegan Stuffed Mushrooms, use vegan cream cheese.  (I am a big fan of the Kite Hill brand.) Use either vegan cheese on top or omit the cheese topping and use breadcrumbs.
