Stuffed Mushrooms
Save For Later!
Stuffed mushrooms are a delicious appetizer or side dish that are easy to make and can be customized to suit a variety of tastes. Follow a recipe or make up your own!
Appetizers or Side Dish
Mushrooms are typically filled with a savory mixture of breadcrumbs, cheese, herbs, and sometimes meat or vegetables. They can be baked or grilled until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is golden and crispy. Stuffed mushrooms are a great option for those following a low-carb or keto diet, as they can be made without breadcrumbs and still be flavorful and satisfying.
Chaos Cooking!
Some days in the kitchen are a breeze and everything comes together just as you planned. Then, there are days like when I tried making these stuffed mushrooms. If it could have gone wrong, it did! From electrical malfunctions to forgetting ingredients, it’s amazing these mushrooms turned out at all! Luckily, I can laugh through the chaos and not beat myself up about the things that go wrong in the kitchen.
Versatile Dish
Stuffed mushrooms are a versatile dish and can be prepared many ways. This can be a low carb option and can also be prepared as a vegan dish. Depending on how you prepare the mushrooms, it can feel like a different side dish or appetizer each time you make them! Due to my chaos when I made these, this was a main dish for dinner!
