Ingredients
Mushrooms: Small, easy-to-eat bites are perfect for this dish so pick up a few packs of white button mushrooms.
Veggies: You will need flavor-boosting onion and garlic for this recipe, as well as parsley.
Dairy: For the incredible stuffing, you will need asiago cheese, softened cream cheese, parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese. For the buttery topping, melted butter is required; salted or unsalted can be used.
Bread crumbs: To give these mushrooms a little crunch, pick up Panko bread crumbs.
Spices and oil: A little olive oil is needed for sauteing and you will also need salt and pepper.
How to Make Three Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms
STEP ONE: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F, line a baking sheet with foil, then grease the foil with non-stick spray. Remove the mushroom stems and chop those, along with the onion. Sprinkle the insides of the mushroom caps with salt and pepper.
STEP TWO: Sauté the chopped mushroom stems and onion and once tender, add the garlic and cook for a minute more. In a large bowl, stir together the cream cheese, mozzarella, asiago, parsley and the sautéed mushroom mixture until well combined. Fill each mushroom cap with a big spoonful of the filling.
STEP THREE: Mix the bread crumbs and parmesan cheese in a small bowl. Dip the tops of the stuffed mushrooms in the breadcrumb mix and lightly coat them.
STEP FOUR: Drizzle melted butter over the stuffed mushrooms and bake them for 20-25 minutes until they are golden brown.
Tips for Success
- Super soft cream cheese will be easier to mix, so set that out well ahead of time. Pre-shredded cheese is excellent and a real-time saver for the rest of the cheese, but you can undoubtedly shred your cheese for the best melting results.
- If you want the breading on top of the mushrooms a more browned once the baking time is up, turn your oven to broil on low and toast until golden brown.
- If you prefer portabella mushrooms, those can be used as well; just look for the small, baby portabellas. You can use portabella’s larger than baby portabella’s or button mushrooms, but they will not make as many as this recipe indicates.
- The cheese may leak out of the mushroom caps a little, and that’s ok! Greasing the foil will help prevent any sticking issues, and besides, who doesn’t love crispy cheese?
How do you keep stuffed mushrooms from getting soggy?
Mushrooms are water loving things, so they will soak up some of the water you use to clean them. To prevent them from taking on too much water and then releasing that water during baking, making the stuffed mushrooms soggy, don’t soak them beforehand. When you remove the stems, toss the stems and the caps into a colander and give them a quick rinse, then toss them on a towel to dry a bit. The less contact they have with water the less soggy they will be.
What goes well with stuffed mushrooms?
Stuffed mushrooms are perfect as an appetizer but can also be served as a side to many delicious meals! The versatile mushroom makes it easy to pair with a weeknight spaghetti dinner or nicer shrimp linguine during a stay-at-home date night. Serve your favorite steak, chicken, or tofu meals with these stuffed mushrooms and classic garlic bread to round out a perfect meal.

I finally made these delicious appetizers today and they were a major hit. I’ll definitely make them again. I used mozzarella, provolone, Parmesan and Swiss cheese and I added a tbsp of Asiago/artichoke dip to it because I didn’t have Asiago and I’ll keep that because it was very yummy.
Thank you for your time and your many amazing recipes

Took 1/3 pack of cream cheese, 4 cheese mexican blend shredded, shredded mozzarella, vadaillia onion powder, fresh parsley chopped, jalapeño seeds removed diced and mixed it in a bowl with my hand wearing a rubber glove. Did not measure anything. Bought some mushroom crowns, salt and peppered insides and played them on baking sheet covered with foil and sprayed with oil. Mixed parmesian cheese and bread crumbs is a small bowl. Used small ice cream scoop to put into mushrooms. Took filled mushroom and pressed it into bread crumb mixture. Placed a dozen on sheet and baked them at 375 for 30 minutes. Upped it to 400 for another 10 minutes and they browned very nicely. They were delicious.
