Cheesy Stuffed Mushrooms

These cream cheese-stuffed mushrooms combine a variety of delectable ingredients for a tasty bite that your family and friends will love. There are a few steps involved but it is easy to complete.  I used button mushrooms to make a nice ratio of mushroom to creamy stuffing. You could use this recipe with large mushrooms if desired.

They don’t require a garnish but almost anything would work from chopped herbs, green onions, scallions, bread crumbs or even parmesans sprinkles.

    1. It works well with large – but some people think it’s too much cheese in a large mushroom. I suggest you fill one but not too full and try eating it to make up your mind how much cheese you want in it.

I love to make new friends and get to know you.
