Total Time: 25-30 minutes
Servings: 4 (Makes about 12 stuffed mushrooms)
Ingredients
12 large white or cremini mushrooms (stems removed)
½ cup crumbled feta cheese
¼ cup roasted red peppers, finely chopped
¼ cup breadcrumbs (or almond flour for low-carb)
2 tbsp olive oil (divided)
1 clove garlic, minced
¼ tsp oregano
¼ tsp ground cumin
¼ tsp black pepper
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (plus extra for garnish)
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for extra flavor)
Instructions
Prep the Mushrooms
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth and remove the stems, creating space for stuffing.
Brush or toss the mushroom caps with 1 tbsp olive oil, then place them on a lined baking sheet.
Make the Filling
In a bowl, mix together feta, roasted red peppers, breadcrumbs, garlic, oregano, cumin, black pepper, and parsley.
Add 1 tbsp olive oil and lemon juice, stirring until well combined.
Stuff & Bake
Spoon the filling mixture into each mushroom cap, packing it in gently.
Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese (if using).
Bake for 15-20 minutes, until mushrooms are tender and the tops are golden.
Serve & Enjoy
Garnish with extra fresh parsley and a drizzle of olive oil.
Serve warm with a side of tzatziki or hummus.
Tips & Tricks
Choose large mushrooms like cremini or white button for easy stuffing.
Make it dairy-free by swapping feta with a plant-based cheese.
Add a protein boost by mixing in finely chopped cooked chicken or chickpeas.
For extra crunch, top with crushed nuts or extra breadcrumbs before baking.
