Stuffed mushrooms three ways!

It's New Years Eve! Are you panicking and trying to think of a quick, easy and cheap appetizer recipe to bring to a party tonight? We have the perfect idea for you-stuffed mushroom caps! They look daunting, but it truly is a super easy recipe! I had a Christmas get together with friends a few days ago and whipped these guys up! Wishing you all a very happy and safe New Years Eve! See you cats in the new year!
Crab stuffed mushroom caps:
2 dozen white mushrooms
1/4 C butter (room temperature)
1/4 C cream cheese
6 oz. snow crab (canned works as well)
2 Tbsp chopped green onions
1 Tbsp horseradish
1 Tbsp fresh chopped parsley
1/3 C bread crumbs or panko crumbs
1/4 C parmesan cheese.

Instructions:
First wash mushrooms and then simply remove the stems.
Line up the mushrooms on a baking sheet
Mix all of the ingredients and fill the mushrooms!
Bake the mushrooms at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes and then broil for 1-2 minutes.
French onion soup mushroom caps:
2 dozen white mushrooms
2 Tbsp butter (room temperature)
2 white onions (sliced thin)
1/4 C beef broth
4 dashes Worcestershire sauce
Splash of red wine vinegar or white vine vinegar
1/2 C shredded Gruyere or swiss cheese

Instructions:
First wash mushrooms and then simply remove the stems.
Line up the mushrooms on a baking sheet.
Cook onions in butter on medium heat for approximately 20 minutes.
Next add broth, Worcestershire sauce & vinegar and cook for 5 more minutes.
Finally stuff the mushrooms with onion mix, and top with shredded cheese.
Bake the mushrooms at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes and then broil for 1-2 minutes.
They tend to let off a lot of juice, so cook separately from other type of mushroom caps. 
Pesto mushroom caps:
2 dozen white mushroom caps
2 Tbsp pesto 
1/4 C butter
1/4 C cream cheese
1/3 C parmesan cheese
1/2 C panko crumbs or bread crumbs

Instructions:
First wash mushrooms and then simply remove the stems.
Line up the mushrooms on a baking sheet
Mix all of the ingredients and fill the mushrooms!
Bake the mushrooms at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes and then broil for 1-2 minutes.


Happy mushroom-making!

  1. What a great post! The shrooms I've been making for get-togethers have cream cheese for the filling base and then a little cayenne for a kick!

    I'm going to for sure try these recipes out!

    Happy new year!
