Have you ever been mushroom picking? Foraging for mushrooms is a fun fall experience. Pile into the car and head to the forest (with someone who’s experienced, of course)!

The woods and fresh air, combined with freshly fallen rain make it feel like you’re in the mountains, far, far away from civilization. It’s a dreamy vibe if you like forests. If not, go to the produce section at your nearby grocery stores and try picking mushrooms in a convenient way.

What to Do With Mushroom Caps?

Mushroom caps make the easiest, healthiest base to stuff any ingredients into. The kitchen and pantry hold so many options for easy stuffed mushrooms! You can use smaller mushrooms to make an appetizer. If you’d like to enjoy them as a main meal, you can use one of the larger kind of mushrooms.

Roast this savory appetizer in a 350-degree oven to absolute perfection. I don’t suggest making them in advance, but you can bake them quickly in the oven for just 20 minutes. If you like to use your air fryer, check out the Recipe FAQs section for instructions. This easy recipe makes the best-stuffed mushrooms.

Lil ‘shrooms are so cute and easy to make dishes with. Their round caps provide the perfect base to any topping options. I crafted them into little appetizers that my guests loved. The garlic flavors and creamy consistency will make them fly off your tables, too.

Spice up your next party with a delicious new appetizer that everyone will love. Whether it’s game night or not, everyone will always enjoy them.

Key Ingredients

Mushrooms: You can use any sort of mushrooms that you like. I use white mushrooms or cremini mushrooms. Use a damp paper towel to gently clean each mushroom with care. Some people like to discard stems from mushrooms, but we put them to use in this recipe.

Onion: Yellow onion.

Olive oil: Or any oil you usually use.

Cheese: Mozzarella cheese or sharp cheddar work best, or a mix of both.

Sour Cream: To make it creamy.

Garlic: Brings out more flavor and has numerous health benefits.

And just a pinch of salt to season.

Expert Tips

  • Wipe mushrooms with a damp cloth instead of washing them to prevent excess moisture.
  • Choose similar size mushrooms to ensure uniform cooking, preventing smaller ones from overcooking or larger ones remaining undercooked.
  • Feel free to experiment with fresh herbs like tarragon, chives, or marjoram for complementary flavors.

Recipe FAQs

How can I make sure I cook the mushrooms all the way through?

Check for a golden-brown color on the mushrooms and ensure the filling is hot and bubbly.

Can I prepare these in an air fryer?

Yes. Air fry the mushrooms at 350°F (175°C) for approximately 12-15 minutes. Use parchment paper or a cooking spray and check for doneness before enjoying.

How can I prevent the mushrooms from tipping over during baking?

Place cheese-stuffed mushrooms close together on the baking sheet to support each other and prevent tipping. Using a baking dish with raised edges helps the mushrooms to stand evenly overall.

Can I assemble these ahead of time and bake them later?

Yes, assemble the mushrooms a few hours ahead and refrigerate; bake just before serving
