Yummy Keto Stuffed Mushrooms, So Easy!
Let’s make some super easy and tasty keto stuffed mushrooms. They’re perfect for snacks or a side dish and always a big hit. Let’s get started!
Things You’ll Need
- Mushrooms (1 pound, baby bella): These are just the right size for stuffing. Pick ones that look fresh and clean!
- Bacon (½ cup, cooked and crumbled): Cook it up nice and crispy for the best taste.
- Garlic (1 clove, minced): Fresh garlic makes a big difference, trust me on this one.
- Cream Cheese (8 ounces, softened): Make sure it’s soft so it mixes well with the other stuff.
- Parmesan Cheese (½ cup, fresh grated): This gives our mushrooms a nice cheesy top. More is always good, right?
- Rosemary (1 teaspoon, dried): Adds a yummy smell and taste.
- Black Pepper (¼ teaspoon): Just a bit to make things tasty.
Let’s Get Cooking!
- Heat up your oven (350 degrees F): And get a baking sheet ready with some parchment paper. This keeps things from sticking.
- Prep the mushrooms: Take out the stems. You can save them for soup or toss them. Put the mushroom caps on your baking sheet.
- Mix the good stuff: In a bowl, put in the bacon, garlic, cream cheese, parmesan cheese, rosemary, and pepper. Mix it all up until it’s nice and even.
- Stuff those mushrooms: Fill each mushroom cap with lots of the cheesy mix. Don’t be shy, really pack it in there.
- Bake time (20 minutes): Put them in the oven and wait until they’re soft and the top gets a little brown and yummy.
- Add a little extra: If you want, sprinkle some more parmesan on top when they’re done. It makes them look pretty and taste even better!
See? That was easy! These mushrooms are so good, warm and cheesy. I love to eat them right away. Hope you enjoy making them as much as I do. Happy cooking!
Mix It Up – The Filling Fun Part
Now, the mix! Make sure that cream cheese is nice and soft, it’ll blend with everything else so much better. If you forgot to take it out early, just microwave it for a few seconds. Using fresh garlic? Yum! That’s going to make your kitchen smell amazing. And if you like things a bit spicy, a pinch of red pepper flakes can be fun.
Stuff Those Caps and Bake Away
Fill each mushroom cap like you mean it! You want a good amount of that yummy filling in each one. And don’t worry if they look a little crowded on the baking sheet, they’ll shrink just a bit as they bake. Your oven is preheated, right?
Golden Goodness – When They’re Ready
You’ll know they’re ready when the tops start to get a little brown and the mushrooms are soft. Give them a quick poke with a fork if you’re not sure. Adding a bit more parmesan cheese on top at the end? Always a good idea in my book!
Mix and Match – Play with Your Food!
This is where you get to have fun. No bacon? Try some cooked sausage or chopped spinach instead. Different cheeses work too – cheddar or Monterey Jack are awesome. Feel like adding some chopped onions to the mix? Go for it!
Serving and Sharing – Or Not!
These are perfect as a snack, a side, or even a light meal. You can serve them hot or cold. I like them best warm, right out of the oven. If you’re having friends over, put them out on a nice plate and watch them disappear.
Keep ‘Em Fresh – If There Are Leftovers
If by some miracle you have any left, just pop them in a container and put them in the fridge. They’ll keep for a few days. Just reheat them in the oven or microwave when you want another tasty bite.
