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:
- Spoon
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper (optional)
- Griddle Pan (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Wash and dry the mushrooms. Carefully remove the stems and discard them or reserve for another recipe.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Fill each mushroom cap generously with the cheese mixture.
- Place the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (optional).
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown and bubbly.
- Let cool slightly before serving.
