Why make this recipe?

These stuffed portobello mushrooms are incredibly flavorful and very easy to make. You can serve them as an appetizer but they also make a very satisfying small main course. And, you can easily make and stuff the mushrooms ahead of time and bake them when you’re ready.

What’s in the stuffing?

Portobello mushroom sausage and cream cheese stuffing ingredients.
You need hot Italian sausage, cream cheese, smoked hot paprika, oregano, sour cream, cheddar cheese, onion and olive oil to make the stuffing.

Ingredient notes & substitutions:

  • Sour cream is required to loosen the cream cheese a bit. Pure cream cheese would be a little too dense and heavy.
  • Please don’t use any cream cheese products labeled as low-fat or reduced-fat. Those have a higher moisture content than full-fat cream cheese and that can keep them from melting properly.

Recipe notes & tips:

  • You can make the filling and stuff the mushrooms up to 6 hours ahead. Keep them in an airtight container in the fridge until you’re ready to bake them.

How to make it:

See full ingredients & instructions in the recipe card below!

Step 1. Heat the oven and prepare the portobello mushrooms.
