With only 3 ingredients and a creamy, savory filling, these Boursin stuffed mushrooms are not only incredibly delicious, they are also easy to make. They're the perfect party appetizer for the holidays! (vegetarian)
I'm going to let you in on a little secret for effortless entertaining. It's Boursin. I always keep a package around, whether for spreading on crackers, stirring into a dip, or stuffing into mushrooms. It never lets me down when I need a quick and utterly delicious snack to share with guests. (No, this post isn't sponsored by them, I just really love Boursin!) It's my shortcut for effortless appetizers like these stuffed mushrooms.
What is Boursin?
Boursin is a light and creamy, yet also dense and crumbly, spreadable cheese blended with garlic herbs (or at least the original flavor is garlic and herb). Originating in France, it was inspired by fromage frais, a traditional French cheese dish. It's simply delicious. Boursin can be found in the deli section of most grocery stores, usually near the hummus.
Why You'll Love These Stuffed Mushrooms
On to the mushrooms! These are stuffed mushrooms are little flavor bombs that could not be easier to make. The creamy, garlic and herb infused cheese does the heavy lifting , baking into heavenly perfection in the center of umami-packed mushrooms. A sprinkling of breadcrumbs completes the texture balance. They look and taste elegant, but they're actually so simple.
The Ingredients
- Mushrooms - I like to use baby bella mushrooms, but your average white (or cremini) mushrooms works just fine, too.
- Boursin - Go with the OG 'Garlic & Fine Herbs' flavor, or try one of the other delicious variations.
- Breadcrumbs - If you have the time, it's worth it to make your own chunky breadcrumbs from stale sourdough bread! If not, grab a container of panko, or even wing it with crushed crackers.
- Olive Oil - For drizzling the breadcrumbs (optional but delicious). So technically, it's 4 ingredients, but oil doesn't count as an ingredient.
How To Make Them
- Wash the mushrooms and gently remove the stems. (Save the stems for homemade broth!) Place mushrooms with the hole facing up on a baking sheet.
- Use a rounded teaspoon or other small spoon to scoop Boursin and press it into the center of each mushroom.
- In a small bowl, drizzle the breadcrumbs with just a touch of olive oil and mix to combine. Sprinkle each mushroom with bread crumbs.
- Bake at 400°F for 20-25 minutes, or until mushrooms are softened and breadcrumbs are golden.
Can Stuffed Mushrooms Be Made In Advance?
If you want to make them ahead of time, I suggest doing everything up to the baking step, and placing unbaked mushrooms in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one day. Then place them on a baking sheet and bake when you're ready.
Storing Leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container int he refrigerator for up to 3 days. If they have been left at room temperature for longer than 2 hours, they should be discarded for for safety reasons.
