This is when a weekly menu plan would come in real handy.

Without a bit of planning, mushrooms might be passed by in the produce section, at least 16 ounces of them.

I tend to get stuck in a rut with green beans or peas when I don't make a shopping list.

There is a really good chance that you have all of the other ingredients for this recipe already in your pantry.

Maybe not the homemade vegan parmesan cheese, but it is quick to whip up with a few cashews.

Notes

These stuffed mushrooms are wonderfully savory, tender, and juicy, and ideal to serve warm or at room temperature. These mushrooms are fairly fuss-free and you will have an amazing appetizer in no time.

Which mushrooms to use?

Look for medium-large mushrooms, white or baby Bella. It would be ideal to get these at the market where you can hand-pick them, so they are similarly sized.

Do I have to use panko breadcrumbs?

These are extra crispy, but you can use other breadcrumbs as well. If you have some leftover bread slices, just toast them and process them in a food processor until you have coarse crumbs. You can season homemade breadcrumbs with garlic powder and oregano for some extra flavor.

Do you have to wash the mushrooms?

Many people believe washing mushrooms is not okay. If you just rinse them, then they will be perfectly fine. Prolong soaking will affect their texture and make them extra watery. Another method is to clean mushrooms using a damp kitchen or paper towel.

How to store stuffed mushrooms?

Store the mushrooms in an airtight container, in a fridge, for up to 2 days. You can freeze them too, but I do not recommend it as the mushrooms change their texture once thawed. If you want to experiment with this, I advise that you freeze them before baking.

Pro tips:

  • You can pre-bake mushrooms, to release some of its juices before stuffing. Invert mushrooms onto a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes at 350F.
  • Do not overfill the mushrooms as during the baking the filling may fall out. As they bake they become tender and will not hold all the filling inside.
  • Do not peel the mushrooms to clean them. Rinse them briefly or clean with damp towel.

FAQs

Do stuffed mushrooms freeze well? ›

Yes, you can freeze stuffed mushrooms. They are better if you freeze them before you bake them (see storage tips below) but you can freeze them after cooking as well. How long do stuffed mushrooms last once they are frozen? They will last for about 3 months in the freezer if they are uncooked, and about a month cooked.

How do you reheat frozen stuffed mushrooms? ›

Oven: Preheat to 350°F and reheat for 10-15 minutes. Stove top: Use a skillet over low heat and cook for 5-7 minutes.

Is it better to freeze mushrooms raw or cooked? ›

You can certainly freeze mushrooms fresh, but cook them beforehand for the best texture and flavor. Mushrooms are full of water and when they're frozen from fresh, they can end up soggy, mushy and all around unpleasant. Cooking them beforehand, though, removes some of that moisture and results in better mushrooms.

How do you prepare mushrooms for freezing? ›

Strain the water out, spread the mushrooms on a towel, and pat them dry as best as possible. Place mushrooms in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze. Move the mushrooms in a zip-top bag or container, remove as much air as possible, seal and label.

Should frozen mushrooms be thawed before cooking? ›

One of the best parts of cooking with frozen sliced mushrooms is there's no need to defrost. Simply take them straight from the freezer and add to your recipe. Plus, if you need to cut them into smaller or different pieces for a certain dish, or want to blend them into a soup, frozen mushrooms are easy to chop.

Can you freeze and reheat stuffed mushrooms? ›

OR…you can bake them, freeze them, and reheat them later. They're really very forgiving. Enjoy them! On another note, when I added this recipe to Tasty Kitchen this morning, I found a bounty of other recipes for stuffed mushrooms.

Do you leave the gills in stuffed mushrooms? ›

Gills do not have to be removed from portobello mushrooms to eat them, but if you're planning to stuff them, the gills will be in your way. For grilled portobello burgers and other nonstuffed mushroom recipes, you may leave the gills for richer flavor.

Do you remove mushroom gills for stuffed mushrooms? ›

Mushroom gills are totally edible, but in some cases, they make a dish unsightly. Thankfully, removing them is pretty simple. Most recipes that call for mushrooms don't require that you remove the gills on the underside of the caps.

Can I freeze cooked stuffed portobello mushrooms? ›

Store prepared stuffed mushrooms in an airtight container, and freeze for up to 3 months. To roast, thaw them out completely before cooking.

Does freezing mushrooms change the texture? ›

Texture can likewise be affected. While you can freeze raw mushrooms, given their high water content, they can become mushy when thawed. This can work for soups, casseroles, or blended dishes, but you may not want squishy mushrooms for other things.
