Why These Mushrooms Are So Good
- These savory, absolutely delicious mushrooms are the perfect appetizer for a party, family get-together, or date night.
- This recipe is actually a family favorite! Made by my mom, to this day, I still beg for her to make them! (To make it even more “all in the family,” my sister photographed the recipe for this post!)
- These vegetarian stuffed mushrooms are just as tasty as those you’d find in a restaurant, but are actually incredibly easy to put together with just a few ingredients.
How To Make This Recipe
- Preheat oven to 350º F.
- Remove the mushroom stems and chop. Save the mushroom caps and place to the side.
- In a skillet, saute the onion, mushroom stems, and garlic in the butter over medium-high heat. Add the breadcrumbs until a thick consistency (see the image below). Stir well.
- Add the parmesan cheese and stir.
- Stuff the mushroom caps with the onion mixture and arrange in a baking dish. Bake for 20 minutes.
- Place under the broiler for until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
Chef’s Tips
- If on a vegan or dairy-free diet, saute the ingredients using a neutral oil, like avocado oil. Sub out the parmesan cheese with a vegan powdered parmesan.
- If gluten-free, use gluten-free breadcrumbs.

I haven’t tried them yet but am planning a dinner party where they will be served. Can any part be made ahead, and if so, how much ahead?
Sure, Leigh! They’re best when they’re done day-of, but you can make them up to 24 hours in advance to make things easier! Follow the directions from the beginning as written, then stop after you stuff the mushrooms, before you bake them. Cover and refrigerate the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet until you’re ready to finish them, then bake them as written.
I hope you and your guests love them!
Made these Vegan, but omitted the onion (due to a request). Followed everything else and they were DELICIOUS!!! There were 4 of us, and this was only a small part of a large Vegan Italian buffet. The guests attacked them . Definitely will make again very soon
Wonderful! Glad you enjoyed this recipe. Thank you for the great review!
