Keto Stuffed Mushrooms Recipe

Ingredients (for 12 servings):

  • 12 large cremini mushrooms
  • 4 oz softened cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
  • 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh herbs (optional: parsley, chives, or thyme)
  • 1/4 cup diced onion
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil

Equipment:

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Wash and dry the mushrooms. Carefully remove the stems and discard them or reserve for another recipe.
  2. Using a spoon, gently scrape out some of the mushroom gills to create a wider cavity. Brush the tops of the mushrooms with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, chopped herbs (if using), diced onion, and minced garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Optional Step: If you prefer a pre-cooked filling, saute the diced onion and garlic in a skillet with a drizzle of olive oil until softened. Add them to the cheese mixture.
  5. Fill each mushroom cap generously with the cheese mixture.
  6. Place the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (optional).
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown and bubbly.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving.
