This recipe takes just 5 minutes to prep and 20 minutes to bake. It’s great as a starter, side dish, or light meal—delicious enough to impress guests but easy enough for a quick weeknight dinner.

Tips for the Best Stuffed Mushrooms

✔ Pick the biggest mushrooms – they shrink slightly when cooking.

✔ Don’t overfill – a packed mushroom cooks evenly and holds its shape.

✔ Add extra flavour – a sprinkle of chilli flakes or black pepper gives a little heat.

✔ Try different cheeses – feta, blue cheese, or mozzarella all work well.
