These Boursin stuffed mushrooms are a tasty treat! With creamy Boursin cheese mixed with herbs, they’re packed with flavor in every bite.
Whenever I make these, my friends can’t get enough! They’re perfect as party snacks or just for munching while watching a movie. You might want to make a double batch! 😄
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Mushrooms: I love using cremini mushrooms because they have a great flavor, but white mushrooms work too. For a twist, try portobello mushrooms for a heartier bite!
Boursin Cheese: This garlic & herb cheese is the star. If you can’t find it, cream cheese mixed with garlic powder and herbs makes a good substitute. Don’t forget to add a bit of extra seasoning!
Parmesan Cheese: Grated Parmesan adds a nice salty kick. You can swap it for pecorino cheese if you’re looking for something sharper. Nutritional yeast is a great vegan alternative, too!
Panko Breadcrumbs: They give a great crunch. Regular breadcrumbs work fine, but for added flavor, try flavored breadcrumbs or even crushed crackers.
How Do You Get the Perfect Mushrooms for Stuffing?
Cleaning and preparing the mushrooms well is essential. First, gently wipe the mushrooms with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt. Avoid soaking them in water, as they can become soggy. After that, carefully remove the stems by twisting them gently to keep the caps intact.
- Chop the stems finely for filling.
- Make sure to sauté them till they’re soft; this brings out their flavor!
- Fill the caps generously, but don’t overfill to prevent messiness while baking.
Following these tips will ensure you have delicious stuffed mushrooms with a perfect texture! Enjoy your cooking! 🎉

This delicious recipe takes about 10 minutes to prep and 25 minutes to bake, totaling around 35 minutes. It’s quick and easy—perfect for a tasty appetizer or snack!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
First, turn on your oven and set it to 375°F (190°C). While it warms up, line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
2. Prepare the Mushrooms:
Take a damp cloth and gently wipe each mushroom to clean them. Carefully twist and remove the stems from the mushrooms. Chop the stems finely—these will add flavor to your filling!
3. Sauté the Filling:
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped mushroom stems and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they are softened and fragrant.
4. Mix the Cheese Filling:
In a medium bowl, combine the sautéed mushroom stems and garlic with the Boursin cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, half of the chopped parsley, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Stir everything together until it’s well blended.
5. Stuff the Mushrooms:
Spoon the creamy cheese mixture evenly into each mushroom cap. Don’t be shy—fill them generously for the best flavor!
6. Add the Topping:
In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil with the panko breadcrumbs. Mix until the breadcrumbs are coated. Then, sprinkle this topping over each stuffed mushroom for a crispy finish.
7. Bake:
Place the stuffed mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet. Bake them in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the tops are golden brown.
8. Serve and Enjoy:
Once baked, remove the mushrooms from the oven and garnish with the remaining fresh parsley. Serve them warm and watch them disappear!
Enjoy these creamy, flavorful Boursin stuffed mushrooms as a delightful appetizer or snack any time!
Can I Use Different Cheese in This Recipe?
Absolutely! If you can’t find Boursin cheese, you can use cream cheese mixed with garlic powder and your favorite herbs. It might not have the exact flavor, but it will still be creamy and delicious!
Can I Make These Stuffed Mushrooms in Advance?
Yes! You can prepare the stuffed mushrooms ahead of time, cover them, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. Just add a few extra minutes to the baking time if they go in cold.
How Should I Store Leftovers?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes until warmed through to maintain their texture.
Could I Make This Recipe Vegan?
Definitely! You can substitute the Boursin cheese with a dairy-free cream cheese and use nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan for added flavor. Just be sure to choose panko breadcrumbs that are vegan-friendly.
