Perfectly portioned bite-size goodness, these Vegetarian Stuffed Mushrooms are one of my perennial favorites. I first tasted a similar savory appetizer at Oregon’s landmark Timberline Lodge. A beautiful, historic lodge nestled near the top of Oregon’s Mt. Hood. An amazing place that if you’re ever in the vicinity, add it to your itinerary. You’ll be glad you did!
Years ago, they used to serve a similar stuffed mushroom in their Cascade Dining Room. I’m not sure if they still do, but if not… you can make this recipe inspired by the lodge.
While these stuffed mushrooms are a seasonless appetizer, I especially love to serve them during the holidays. Or, to be honest, even for a quiet evening at home in front of the fire. They’re really that good!
Frequently Asked Questions
I’ve not tried it, but if you have favorite brands of vegan butter, cream cheese and hard cheese, feel free to substitute them for the butter, cream cheese and parmesan – do let me know how they turn out!
Whatever works best for how you plan on serving them! Obviously you want large mushrooms so you can stuff them, but a couple of smaller portobello mushrooms might look prettier on a plate than one big portobello mushroom, a couple of which would work as a vegetarian main dish. It is up to you!
Fresh thyme is also delicious in this recipe, as you can see from the photos! Use whatever you have to hand that usually works with mushrooms, you can’t really go wrong.
