Stuffed Mushrooms
These stuffed mushrooms are my little flavor bombs that I whip up when I need something comforting yet a bit fancy. The blend of herbs and garlic is just heavenly and perfect when I’m trying to impress someone with a plant-based dish.
I first made these stuffed mushrooms for a potluck where I really wanted to show off how delicious vegan food can be.
I discovered that adding a sprinkle of nutritional yeast before popping them in the oven gives them a cheesy touch without any dairy.
These mushrooms hold a special place in my heart because they remind me of that day, filled with friends, laughter, and the joy of sharing a meal.
Trust me, you’ll want to make a double batch because they disappear fast!

Ingredients & Substitutions
I love using portobello mushrooms because they’re so meaty and satisfying, but button mushrooms work in a pinch. If I’m out of quinoa, I’ve used brown rice or farro, and they’re both great. And don’t skip the nutritional yeast—it’s the secret to that cheesy flavor we plant-based folks love!
Tips & Notes
- •I like to sprinkle a bit of smoked paprika on top before baking for a smoky depth.
- •My friend swears by serving them with homemade marinara sauce on the side, which I now do every time.
- •I keep any leftovers (if there are any!) in a glass container in the fridge, and they’re still tasty the next day.
Recipe Variations
- •If I’m in the mood for some crunch, I’ll toss in some toasted walnuts into the stuffing.
- •For a burst of flavor, sometimes I chop up a few sun-dried tomatoes and mix them in too.
Storage & Freezing
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through.
