Ingredients

Mushrooms: I used cremini mushrooms, but you can also use white button mushrooms. Try making this recipe with Portobello if you want to make a larger sit down appetizer.
Boursin: I used garlic and herb flavored Boursin cheese, but you can use any flavor you like or any other type of cream cheese.
Bacon: Regular American bacon will crisp to perfection in this recipe. You can also use a flavored bacon like maple, or turkey bacon for a healthier alternative.

You can try a variety of different fillings for these stuffed mushrooms. You can make a seafood variation with crab, shrimp, or scallops. Other cheese variations like ricotta, blue cheese, and mozzarella. Or adding more vegetables like leeks, potatoes, or pumpkin.

If instead, you prefer to make single sit-down appetizer portions, you can use Portobello mushrooms in place of cremini. In that case, this recipe will make 4 bacon wrapped stuffed Portobello mushrooms.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you cook these in an air fryer?

Yes, you can absolutely make Air Fryer Stuffed Mushrooms, follow the same instructions as in this recipe but then bake them in the preheated air fryer at 360F for 10 minutes.

Should you wash mushrooms before stuffing them?

No, it's not necessary to wash mushrooms. You can peel the skin off or use a mushroom brush to clean the surface.

Can I cook them on a barbecue instead of the oven?

Sure, if you're having a BBQ party you can use a perforated grill pan on the barbecue to cook the stuffed mushrooms until the bacon is nice and crispy.

Make Ahead, Storage and Reheating

You can stuff the mushrooms and wrap them in bacon up to 1 day ahead and store them covered in the fridge until ready to cook. Bake them following the same instructions in the recipe to serve.

I do not recommend freezing as mushrooms would lose a lot of water when thawed.

You can store cooked leftovers for up to 3 days in an airtight container in the fridge. Reheat in the oven for a few minutes. You can also reheat them in the air fryer or microwave.

Recipe Notes and Tips

Remember to remove the toothpicks before serving them!
Don't overstuff the caps because mushrooms naturally shrink while baking so the stuffing may overflow if it's too much.
You can easily double the recipe but don't overcrowd the baking sheet otherwise the bacon won't get crispy.
If you prefer crispier bacon, you can broil them for a couple of minutes after baking. Keep an eye on them as the broiler may brown them rather quickly.
