Ingredients
Scale
- 24 White Button Mushrooms or Baby Portobello Mushrooms
- 1 ½ cups Garlic and Herb Pub Cheese
- ½ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 slices Provolone cheese, roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons Half and Half
- ½ cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 cup White Cheddar cheese, room temperature
- 1 tablespoon Flour (optional)
- ¼ cup Half and Half
- 1/8 cup Dry white wine
- 1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/8 teaspoon Dry mustard
- Dash of Pepper
- ½ cup Mayonnaise or Sour cream (optional substitute)
Instructions
- Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel. Use a paring knife to gently trace around the stem and pull it out.
- In a bowl, mix the Garlic and Herb Pub Cheese, Parmesan, Provolone, and Half and Half. Stir in the panko breadcrumbs, then let it cool.
- Carefully stuff the mushrooms with the cheese mixture, but avoid overstuffing to prevent bubbling during baking.
- Place the stuffed mushrooms on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 15-20 minutes until the tops are golden and the mushrooms hold their shape.
- To make the White Cheddar sauce, combine the Half and Half, white wine, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, pepper, and Mayo or Sour Cream. In a double boiler, melt the White Cheddar cheese into the mixture.
- Serve the stuffed mushrooms with the White Cheddar sauce, either drizzled on top or served on the side for dipping.
Notes
- Be careful not to overstuff the mushrooms to prevent the filling from overflowing while baking.
- Let the mushrooms cool for a few minutes after baking to allow the filling to firm up and the flavors to settle.
- For a spicier kick, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the stuffing.
- The stuffed mushrooms can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 2 days.
- If you have leftover mushroom stems, they can be frozen and used in homemade stock.
