What do I need?

You will need these ingredients to make this recipe:

• button mushrooms  
• garlic
• cream cheese
• fresh thyme
• fresh sage
• Old Bay seasoning
• Shredded Parmesan cheese
• dried parsley
• paprika

How to Stuff Mushrooms

1. Wash and dry your mushrooms. Use a damp paper towel to wipe off the mushrooms. Remove the stems and place the caps with the hollowed side up on a baking sheet.
2. Add filling. Spoon a teaspoon of the herbed cream cheese filling into each mushroom cap. Add a little bit of additional filling on top too. Sprinkle grated parmesan and paprika over the mushrooms.
3. Bake. These mushrooms take about 8 minutes in the oven. Just enough to warm the filling and melt the cheese.

Cream Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms taste best served hot! Don’t be surprised when this mushroom appetizer disappears almost as soon as it hits the table. They’re that delicious!
I often eat them right off the tray because I can’t wait to eat them.

Can these be frozen?

Yes, you can absolutely freeze stuffed mushrooms! Make sure to freeze them before baking. Cooked mushrooms don’t hold up well to being frozen.

First, freeze the mushrooms on a baking sheet in a single layer. Once they’re frozen solid (1 -2 hours), transfer the stuffed mushrooms to a freezer bag and keep frozen until ready to bake.

I recommend storing them in a single layer and squeezing any excess air out of the freezer bag to keep them tasting fresh.

Craving something even sweeter? Cream Cheese is a central ingredient for some of my most popular dessert recipes. Everyone raves over these super soft Cream Cheese Meltaways. These Cream Cheese Brownies with Peanut Butter Chips are like heaven if you love chocolate and peanut butter together!
