- Garlic

Choosing Your Mushrooms
Button mushrooms or baby bellas are our preferred type of mushroom to use for this recipe because they have a sturdy texture and great shape for holding the cheese filling.
If possible, choose mushrooms that are medium-large in size to avoid having to tediously stuff small mushrooms.

Tips for Perfect Stuffed Mushrooms
- Wash mushrooms well – this removes any dirt built up on mushrooms.
- Remove stems – removing the stems gives you a little pocket in the mushrooms where the filling will go.
- Drain pimentos – this keeps extra water from getting into your filling.
- Soften cream cheese before mixing – this will help the filling come together much easier.
Recipe Variations
Try these ideas for a different twist on these mushrooms!
- Try a different cheese – try regular cheddar, low-moisture mozzarella, gouda, Parmesan, or pepper jack.
- Make them spicy – feel free to add a few shakes of hot sauce or red pepper flakes for a kick of heat.
- Skip breadcrumbs – for gluten-free mushrooms, feel free to skip the breadcrumb topping or use a gluten-free brand.
Storing and Reheating Mushrooms
Leftovers of these stuffed mushrooms are rare, but in the event that you have them, leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator up to 6 days.
To reheat mushrooms, bake them on a sheet pan at 375F 10-15 minutes or air fry in a single layer at 375F 4-6 minutes.

These stuffed mushrooms are utterly insane, y’all, there’s just no other way to put it. The creamy, cheesy pimento filling is incredible paired with the tender mushrooms and the crispy breadcrumb topping rounds them out perfectly.
Prepare to crave nothing else except these mushrooms for the foreseeable future.
