Stuffed mushrooms are the classic appetizer we make for every party, from holiday dinners to cocktail hours. While we love our classic recipe, sometimes we like to switch it up. Enter: Boursin cheese. It adds a creamy garlic and herb flavor to the filling that’ll have your guests coming back for more (hot tip: make extra, these go fast!). Keep reading on for everything you need to know on how to perfect these cheesy stuffed mushrooms.
The filling:
Boursin is a Gournay cheese that’s similar in texture to cream cheese but comes in a wide variety of flavors. The original Garlic and Fine Herbs is our go-to, but feel free to switch it up here. They’ve even got a plant-based version that should work in this recipe—just swap the butter for olive oil and the Parm for a vegan version or nutritional yeast.
The mushrooms:
Make sure to take the time to really clean those mushrooms. Rinse them under water, then wipe off any lingering dirt with a paper towel (make sure to check underneath too!). Once cleaned, you can remove the stems for chopping, set the caps aside for stuffing, and get to making your delicious filling.
Make them ahead:
Oh, and did we mention you can make these ahead of time? Stuff them up to 3 days ahead if you’re keeping them in the fridge, or 3 months ahead in the freezer. We recommend making a batch at the beginning of the holiday season so you’re always ready for a party.
