Cheesy stuffed mushrooms

Stuffed mushrooms recipe with cream cheese and parmesan

 

I am always on the hunt for different veggie side dishes to serve during the week. We eat a LOT of mushrooms in our house, and these large easy, cheesy stuffed mushrooms are one of my new favourite creations. They also fit my week night supper criteria of being quick, nutritious and very delicious!

In this recipe I have smothered some large brown mushrooms with a herby cream cheese filling and topped them with ground almonds and parmesan, so there is loads of flavour going on here. You can serve them next to your mains but they also work really well as a vegetarian starter. Or even a veggie lunch!

Cook’s notes:

  • a full fat cream cheese works best in this recipe for a thick and creamy filling.

  • 125g full fat smooth cream cheese
  • ½ tsp crushed garlic
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

  • 4 tsp ground almonds
  • 4 tsp finely grated parmesan
