Veggie Stuffed Mushroom Appetizers:

This is my sister Susie’s recipe. She surprised us with her Veggie Stuffed Mushroom appetizers at a family event. You have to try these.

These tasty mushroom appetizers are on my list of favorite party food.  The spinach stuffed mushrooms vanished quickly at the party. but she left us extra spinach cream cheese filling. It makes a fantastic chip dip.

Here’s the process for making Veggie Stuffed Mushrooms:

Clean the Mushrooms really well.

pop off the mushroom stems and dice them up fine for stuffed mushrooms

Remove the stems from the mushrooms. I suggest also slicing a very slim bottom off of each top – giving it a flat surface so when they’re stuffed, they don’t tip over. 

Dice up the mushroom stems, onions and garlic

Dice up the mushroom caps

sautè the onions and mushroom caps in butter or oil.

Saute’ the onions and mushroom tidbits in butter or olive oil until brown and soft, about five minutes.

Throw the filling ingredients into a large bowl and mix them thoroughly:

Here’s our Filling ingredient list:

  • Diced spinach leaves
  • Diced red bell pepper
  • Sautéd onions, garlic, stems
  • Salt and Pepper
  • Cream Cheese
  • Parmesan Cheese
  • Feta Cheese

Stuff the mushrooms – if you find your mushrooms falling over, (a problem with the crimini mushrooms due to their round heads), slice a thin piece off the bottom of the mushroom to make a flat surface. Sprinkle freshly grated parmesan cheese over the stuffing.

  1. Stuff the mushrooms.
  2. Arrange the stuffed mushrooms on your baking sheet. I recommend oiling your baking sheet with oil or lining it with a silicone mat.
  3. Bake for 12-14 minutes at 450ºF until the mushrooms are slightly browned

A delicious bite sized wonderball.Excellent, elegant appetizers, use the extra filling for dip or spread it on crackers. Fabulous!

Arrange the baked mushrooms on your serving platter. Enjoy!

Recipe NOTE:

With 13 large Crimini mushrooms, there is quite a bit of stuffing/dip leftover. It is delicious and will disappear FAST so I suggest doubling the recipe for a party.

I made this recipe twice since last year. This time I created the stuffed Portabello mushroom recipes version.

Susie's Veggie Stuffed Mushrooms by HomemadeFoodJunkie.comChock full of fresh veggies and a savory mix of cheeses. These appetizers please a crowd!These portabellas are HUGE! So they are a bit big for finger food at a party. They do make a lovely side dish for a grilled steak though.

I  used a dozen Portabellas.  The portabella mushrooms are so large they will need the entire filling recipe.  So definitely double the recipe if you want some on the side for a cracker dip.

Look at that filling. This is a great grill side, brunch item or light vegetarian lunch.

As you can see these are almost a light meal in themselves.
