Recipe Description

Hey, cheese fans! Try these indulgent, garlicky Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms, they’re super easy to make! Loaded with your favorite cheese, garlic, and herbs and topped with a crispy crumb, they are packed with flavor.

This is one of my favorite sides to make alongside a steak or chicken fillet and I also love to serve them up as an appetizer at game night or for a dinner party. They are definitely a winning crowd-pleaser! You can sub the cheddar for a different cheese if you prefer and feel free to add more garlic for extra punch!

I’ve made a fancier version of these Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms with gruyere and pancetta which was also amazing! Make them your own by adding in your favorite cheese and other stuffing - why not try goats cheese and walnuts, or cream cheese and scallions?

I made these Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms for my friends' game night and they were a hit! The recipe was so simple, and everyone raved about the flavors. I doubled the garlic, which added a nice kick. I'm proud to say they were gone in minutes. Can't wait to wow them again!
