    Ingredients

    Stuffed button mushrooms ingredients labeled.
    • button mushrooms - Regular button mushrooms are the perfect one-bite size for this recipe. You can also use stuffing mushrooms (sometimes labeled as 'stuffers'), but they are larger so you will need less.
    • butter - Butter is used to sauté the mushroom filling. You can use salted or unsalted.
    • yellow onion - Yellow onions are great for cooking applications.
    • garlic clove - Garlic adds a rich, aromatic flavor that complements the earthy taste of mushrooms. You can check out how to chop garlic here.
    • dried herbs - I recommend thyme and oregano.

    Joss' Tips

    • Choose Fresh Mushrooms: Pick button mushrooms that are firm and white.
    • Clean Gently: Wipe mushrooms with a paper towel to clean them. Avoid soaking them in water, because they can absorb moisture and you don't want them steaming in the oven.
    • Bake Until Golden: Bake until the mushrooms are tender and the stuffing is golden brown and slightly crispy on top for best results.

    Make Ahead Instructions

    In the Fridge. You can stuff the mushrooms and store them in the fridge (before baking) 1 day in advance. Make sure they are covered well. When it's time to serve, you can take them out of the fridge, pop them onto a baking sheet and into the oven.

    In the Freezer. You can freeze stuffed mushrooms before baking for up to 3 months. First, freeze them separately on a baking sheet and then transfer to an airtight container or freezer bag and back into the freezer. You can bake them from frozen, but keep in mind they will need a little more cooking time.

    Dishes That go With Stuffed Mushrooms

    • If you're serving them with other appetizers and sides, you can try simple salads, creamy soups like potato leek soup, and toast points.
    • As for main dishes, they pair well with grilled meats like steak, chicken or pork chops, creamy pasta dishes (such as this delicious lemon basil chicken pasta) and grilled halibut tacos.
    • You can also serve them with dips: try aioli, pesto, or hummus.

    Recipe FAQs

    How do you keep stuffed mushrooms from getting soggy?

    Make sure the stuffing ingredients are not overly wet to begin with. You can also add a bit of breadcrumbs to the stuffing mixture, bake them at a higher temperature (375°F for this recipe) and avoid crowding the mushrooms on the pan. Reheat in the oven to avoid sogginess.

    How do you store the leftovers?

    Store leftover cooked mushrooms in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
