Open in Pepper →A pan of stuffed mushrooms is the appetizer that never comes back to the kitchen. They take about ten minutes to fill, bake while you finish everything else, and people eat them standing up before dinner is even on the table.
Cooks on Pepper reach for this collection when company is coming, when the holiday spread needs one more warm thing, or when there's a package of baby bellas in the fridge and supper needs a side.
Every recipe here starts with a mushroom cap and goes a different direction — Crab Stuffed Mushrooms and Seafood Stuffed Mushrooms with crawfish and clams, creamy Boursin Stuffed Mushrooms, Spinach & Feta Stuffed Mushrooms, Chicken Alfredo stuffed mushrooms in big portobello caps, and Stuffed Mushrooms with Boudain and Cheese.
Twist out the stems
Hold the cap and twist the stem instead of cutting it, so you keep the whole cavity. Chop the stems fine and cook them into the filling.
Wipe, don't rinse
Mushrooms soak up water fast, so wipe each cap with a damp paper towel. Wet mushrooms steam and go soggy in the oven.
Bake caps hollow side up
Set them on a sheet pan hollow side up at 375°F so the juices stay in the cap. Give each one about an inch of space to brown.
Drain the caps first
Bake empty caps 8 to 10 minutes, pour off the liquid, then fill them. This keeps crab and cream cheese fillings from turning watery.
