What mushrooms are best for this stuffed mushrooms recipe?

I usually make these stuffed mushrooms for a party appetizer, this is why, I usually use small to medium button white mushrooms. They are bite sized and easy to stuff. If you’d like, you can use Baby Bella mushrooms, but keep in mind that they have a slightly more earthy flavor.

The stuffing can also be used to stuff large Portobello mushrooms.

How to prepare mushrooms for stuffing?

You first have to find and purchase your button white mushrooms. Look for ones that have not started to brown and get spoiled. If you are lucky enough, you will be able to find some pretty clean white mushrooms, without any dirt on them.

This way cleaning will be much easier – just take a moist piece of paper towel and wipe down the mushrooms. I also like to trim down the stems with just about 2 millimeters.

If the mushrooms that you get are pretty dirty, I know that it is not recommended to soak them in water, because they will get soggy, once baked, but I quickly wash them under cold water and then dry and wipe with paper towel.

Then carefully remove the stems and reserve them for the stuffing. You can also scrape off the gills with a small spoon, if you’d like.

1. Clean mushrooms and carefully remove the stems.

6. In a bowl, combine softened cream cheese, cornichons, cooked mushroom stems, Parmesan, dill, black pepper and season with salt if needed.

If you feel like the shallot, garlic, dill, salt and pepper seasoning is not enough for your taste, you can add seasoning of your choice. I suggest adding Italian seasoning or just thyme.
