Goat Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms
Today, I’m sharing with you a recipe that will help make Thanksgiving Day cooking a snap! This fabulous Thanksgiving appetizer can be made ahead of time and baked minutes before serving!
I LOVE goat cheese, and I love putting it in just about everything! With these Stuffed Mushrooms, the combination of goat cheese, toasted pine nuts, and caramelized shallots make them irresistible!
I love stuffed mushrooms, but sometimes they are a little one-note, and you can’t distinguish the different flavors. That’s why I love to build in extra flavors.
Building flavors begins with caramelizing the shallots, and then simmering them in Holland House White Cooking Wine until all of the liquid evaporates. As if that wasn’t enough to stuff the mushrooms with, I add in creamy goat cheese, toasted pine nuts, lemon zest and juice, and some panko breadcrumbs to bind everything together.
Can you freeze stuffed mushrooms?
This stuffed mushroom recipe is awesome because it is very flexible! You can make them ahead of time and then freeze them in an airtight container before baking them. Pull them out before you need them and then bake them. Or you can assemble them, bake them, and then freeze them. When you are ready to use them, pull them out of the freezer, and reheat them. Easy peasy!
What mushrooms are best for stuffed mushrooms?
When making stuffed mushrooms, I prefer to use regular white button mushrooms or cremini mushrooms. When selecting mushrooms, you want to look for mushrooms that are about the same size to ensure they cook evenly. The mushrooms in the pictures are white mushrooms. They have a mild flavor, which goes perfectly with the delicious sausage filling.
How do you clean mushrooms for stuffing?
Basically, just fill a bowl of water and dump the mushrooms in it. Softly rub the dirt off with your hands and then transfer them to a towel where you will pat dry the mushrooms with another towel.
How do you make stuffed mushrooms not soggy?
The key to helping your mushrooms not get soggy is not to soak them in water when cleaning them. See my notes on how to clean the mushrooms properly.
How long can you keep stuffed mushrooms in the fridge?
Baked Stuffed mushrooms will stay fresh in the fridge for up to five days. Be sure to store them in an airtight container for the best result.
How to make Easy Goat Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms:
STEP ONE: First, preheat the oven and spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Then preheat a skillet with olive oil.
STEP TWO: Next, cook shallots until soft and golden. Add in Holland House White Cooking Wine and cook for about 3-5 minutes.
STEP THREE: While the shallots are cooking, rinse, dry, and clean the mushrooms. Place them on the baking sheet, brush on olive oil, and sprinkle on salt.
STEP FOUR: Mix together the remaining ingredients until creamy. Fill each mushroom with a teaspoon full of the filling and then brush on the remaining oil.
STEPS FIVE AND SIX: Finally, bake for 15-20 minutes. Garnish with desired toppings and serve.
HOW TO MAKE THESE STUFFED MUSHROOMS AHEAD OF TIME:
- Make the recipe up to step 6, then cover the mushrooms with plastic wrap and place them in the refrigerator until you’re ready to bake them.
- When you’re ready to bake the mushrooms, you’ll need to add a couple of minutes to the baking time because they’re chilled.
- You can prep these stuffed mushrooms and keep them in the refrigerator up to 2 days ahead of time.
