How to Make Stuffed Mushrooms
Here’s a quick overview how to make Parmesan stuffed mushrooms.
Do not rinse them but rather wipe with damp paper towel. This way, mushrooms won’t soak up extra water and become soggy.
Just pull out the stems and finely chop them. Including onions and parsley.
I could use many extra ingredients but I decided to keep this stuffed Parmesan mushrooms recipe simple. Really low key and use what you have on hand. No breadcrumbs either, I often don’t have them on hand.
You can use a tablespoon or two of mayo, cream cheese or sour cream instead of Greek yogurt. Anything that helps to bind the ingredients.
Mushrooms take only 20 minutes in the oven.
You will see the juices on a baking sheet and mushrooms will shrink in size and turn brown. That’s OK.
They come out moist, meaty and full of flavour. Fresh Parmesan cheese adds that nice sharp flavour.
The key is to use fresh cheese and not the finely grated one.
We like stuffed parmesan mushrooms warm or cold, as appetizer or side dish. These stuffed mushrooms make the tastiest leftovers.

Stuffed Mushrooms Recipe
Equipment
Ingredients
- 20 medium-large mushrooms white or brown
- 1 medium onion finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 3 tablespoons parsley finely chopped
- 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese grated & divided
- 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese grated
- 2 tablespoons yogurt plain
- 1/2 teaspoon salt divided
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil extra virgin
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. With a damp paper towel, wipe down the mushrooms. Pull out the stems and finely chop them. Set aside. Place mushroom caps on prepared baking sheet.
- Preheat medium skillet on medium-high heat and swirl olive oil to coat. Add onion, garlic, mushroom stems and a pinch of salt. Saute for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Transfer to a medium bowl along with parsley, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, yogurt, 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Stir with spatula to combine.
- Using a teaspoon, fill the mushroom caps with stuffing. Place a bit of remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese on top of each mushroom and sprinkle all of them with more salt. Bake for 20 minutes.
- Serve hot or cold. I like them both ways.
Notes
- Store: Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Do not freeze.
- Make ahead: Can be prepared up to 48 hours in advance. Refrigerate mushroom caps and stuffing separately, then fill and bake just before serving. Or you can refrigerate assembled stuffed mushrooms for up to 12 hours and bake before serving. I recommend to add a few minutes to baking time because mushrooms will be chilled.
My husband actually asked …. “you made these?!?” before devouring seconds. They were pretty darn good. I use recipes as a inspiration rather than an exact science. So, I did substitute Swiss cheese because it was what I had on hand and added an egg to get the mixture to stick together a bit while baking. These will be on regular rotation in our house from now on .
That is so awesome to hear Julie 🙂
