The ultimate cheese stuffed mushrooms made in under 30 minutes! Filled with softened cream cheese, garlic, spinach, and red peppers.
The easiest and most delicious cheese stuffed mushrooms you’ll ever make! This recipe is very versatile and you can add or omit whatever ingredient you’d like.
I used baby Bella mushrooms but you may use whichever mushrooms you prefer. I really love cream cheese for fillings, I even use it for Crab Stuffed Salmon and Crab Stuffed Peppers.
If you’re not a fan of cream cheese, mascarpone cheese works as well. Also, I’m not a fan of adding the mushroom stems to the filling, but feel free to add them. Make sure you don’t rinse the mushrooms with water. Here’s a great article on how to clean mushrooms properly.
