Cheesy Stuffed Mushroom Recipe: This recipe for cheese-stuffed mushrooms is a popular party snack. The stuffed mushrooms recipe is easy to make and adapt to your favourite cheeses. We prefer a sharp cheddar, but mozzarella, Swiss, Gruyere, or creamier cheeses such as feta, goat, or brie will also work. A cheese combination is also a great idea!
These stuffed mushrooms are perfect for a house party or a kitty party, and you will certainly surprise your guests with each bite. This can also be a tasty evening snack for your family. You can also add your favourite vegetables, such as mashed peas and beans. But don’t forget to add cheese to your stuffing to give this stuffed mushroom recipe a cheesy flavour.
This recipe is heavily influenced by my previous cheesy bread roll recipe. I used the same stuffing, but I wanted to replace the bread with some vegetable and wasn’t sure which one. Meanwhile, my husband requested mushroom curry, which inspired me to use mushrooms in this stuffing. I was sceptical about the cheese because it would come out while deep frying in hot oil.
In addition, I used a double coating of breadcrumbs to keep the cheese from melting while frying. Furthermore, after the double coating, make sure to freeze it for at least 30 minutes. This is an extra precaution to keep the cheese from melting. This is an optional step, but I strongly recommend it. Furthermore, I used panko breadcrumbs, which I highly recommend for this recipe.
Stuffed mushrooms should be served immediately; otherwise, they will become soggy and lose their flavour. So serve them hot with your favourite dip, such as tomato ketchup, mayonnaise, cilantro chutney, or mint chutney.
They can also be served without any accompaniment. They make an excellent party or finger food snack. This recipe can be doubled to feed a large group.
