Ingredient Info and Substitution Suggestions
MUSHROOMS – You can use cremini, button, baby bella, or portabello mushrooms. Be sure to keep an eye on them in the oven depending on the size you use.
FILLING – These tasty morsels are stuffed with loads of melty cheese, onion, parsley, and basil with a splash of Vermouth. Optionally add in some minced garlic. We used mozzarella cheese and parmesan, but you can substitute the mozzarella with cream cheese if desired. Feel free to play around with different cheeses here! In place of Vermouth, you can use chicken or beef broth.
How to Make Stuffed Mushrooms
These step by step photos and instructions are here to help you visualize how to make this recipe. You can Jump to Recipe to get the printable version of this recipe, complete with measurements and instructions at the bottom.
- Preheat oven to 450F.
- Remove stems from mushrooms; set caps aside. Coarsely chop the stems.
- Bake mushroom caps for 15 minutes at 450F, flipping them halfway through. Once done, turn the oven down to 350F.
EXPERT TIP – Mushrooms release a lot of liquid when they cook. Since our filling does not have breadcrumbs there’s nothing to soak up that liquid. They need to be roasted first. - Cook chopped mushroom stems and onions in 1 Tbsp of oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat for 5 minutes or until tender. Stir in parsley, basil and Vermouth. Simmer 10 minutes or until wine is absorbed; remove from heat; cool for 5 minutes. I spread mine out on a plate for fasting cooling.
- Stir in cheeses.
- Fill mushroom caps with cheese mixture and place in an 8×8-inch baking pan.
- Bake the stuffed mushrooms at 350F for 15 minutes or until filling is hot and cheese is melted.

Christine says
Thank you so much for making a recipe for stuffed mushrooms that doesn’t have cream cheese in it! Mozzarella is so much better. I don’t have vermouth but I can work around that.
Amanda Formaro says
Thanks Christine! You can substitute chicken broth for the vermouth, or any dry white wine.
Angie says
I made these today. They were extremely tasty. I didn’t have the Vermouth so I used a bit of red wine vinegar. I also added some green pepper.
Amanda Formaro says
Sounds like delicious substitutions! So glad you enjoyed them Angie :)
Kelly says
They look yummy-can’t wait to try making them.what can you use instead of vermouth?
Amanda Formaro says
You can use dry white wine or chicken broth :)
Brigitte K says
Fantastic. I used dry Sherry instead of Vermouth (just a personal preference). Great recipe.
Amanda Formaro says
So glad you enjoyed them, thank you!
BEVERLY says

BY THE WAY DAN IS SOO FUNNY !!

Stacy Lofton says
I can’t wait to make you Mozzarella parmesan stuffed mushrooms. Looks so good I want them now, lol. I’m very happy for you Sargento reimbursement you, that’s great. I’ll make sure to use their products. Thank you very much for sharing your wonderful recipe.
Adyson says
We will be cooking these in a few. Since we generally work with what we have, masala it is. This isn’t a vegetarian household, but we are making these as a main dish (we have the giant portabella caps in the fridge), because our holistic Doctor recommends mushrooms to be incorporated into our daily diet (they have natural healing properties). I’m perfectly okay with that recommendation lol.
Amanda Formaro says
Let me know how they come out, Adyson! :)
Betty says
I don’t cook with any alcohol, I see where u said u could use chicken broth, but I wondering how beef broth would be, also when u write a recipe it would be nice to add a note stating what u can replace the alcohol with, it’s also been proven that ALCOHOL DOESN’T COOK OUT
Thank You I’ll be waiting to hear from you, plz pm me
Amanda Formaro says
Hi, Betty. I think beef broth will be fine, it may just add a more robust flavor.
Dan says
Use your own imagination Betty! If you are so bright to know it is proven ALCOHOL DOESN’T COOK OUT, like 99% of the population knows…… Your alcohol hating ass should be able to come up with your own substitute!
Dot says
That kind of reply was not necessary :(
Mary says
Could be health reasons why she will not use alcohol. I know for me it is as I have r/a
Victor says
Come on Dan, the latter half of that reply wasn’t necessary .
Valerie says
I love this recipe. My friend Shelley (who won’t use the parmesan) and I spent hours looking for this recipe. I found it written on paper and then googled it. I was happy to find this page. I swore I had it saved on my computer but I think it was on my clip-cashe program which crashed. I will put copies of this all over so I never lose it again. lol
Amanda says
That’s fabulous, so glad you love it and found it again!
shelley says
looks good but i will be leaving out Parmesan Cheese cause we dont use it and plus we dont like that cheese at all.
Michelle e says
Will the recipe be good if I don’t add in the vermouth?
Amanda says
you will need a liquid. You can use the same amount of dry white wine, or if you prefer a non-alcoholic option, use chicken broth instead :)
Angie (Big Bear's Wife) says
I just wanted to let you know what I want to move in with you! haha
Yasmeen @ Wandering Spice says
Amanda – what a lovely idea. Perfect for entertaining! I’m throwing a surprise party for one of my relatives next month before our wedding… this would be an ideal part of our “little bites” spread.
Sue says
Sounds delicious! My husband and I are both fans of mushrooms, and these are stuffed with yummy goodness:)
Eliot says
Amanda,
It makes me sad you are stepping down from SRC but am glad you are still going to be a member. Thanks for having the vision to see SRC through to the huge success it is! You have done so much!
Enjoy your much needed rest and these mushrooms look divine!
Katrina says
Mmmm! Love stuffed shrooms.
Culinary Cory says
Huge fan of stuffed mushrooms! These looks great.
Deborah Jezierski says
This sounds great! But is there something I can use instead of the vermouth? And can these be finished on the grill instead of the oven, you know for the summertime? who wants to heat up the oven if you don’t have to!
Amanda says
Hi Deborah! The original recipe called for dry white wine, so you could use that. I am partial to Vermouth in recipes :) If you prefer a non-alcoholic option, try chicken broth. As for the grill, i believe if you place them on a cookie sheet on the grill over medium-low heat you should get the same result!
Velva says
I have loved mushrooms any style since being a kid. Your stuffed mushrooms look divine.
