Stuffed Mushrooms with Cheddar Cheese – Party Appetizer

These delicious stuffed mushrooms would make a great side vegetable or a party appetizer.  Use white button mushrooms that hold up well to fillings.

Mushrooms are one of my favorite vegetables to use for small bites to start a party.

The cap of a mushroom is the perfect place to add all sorts of ingredients to give texture and flavor to an appetizer.

This recipe uses the chopped mushroom stems, fresh  oregano with a light cheddar cheese and Panko bread crumbs to deliver a delicious bite that your guests will love. Top them with fresh parsley and let the guests dig in!

Perfect party appetizer – stuffed mushrooms

I love having friends over for drinks and light bites. These stuffed mushrooms are a favorite with my party guests.

The recipe is fast and easy and the finished result is so tasty.  Your platter will be empty in no time at all!

You can adapt this recipe as you like.  Just experiment!  How about some finely chopped sausage, or olives?  If you like a salty taste, add some anchovies.  The sky is the limit on creativity on a stuffed mushroom.
