- Cremini mushrooms (approx. 2 ” in diameter each)
- Goat cheese, at room temperature
- Sun-dried tomatoes drained and finely chopped
- Olive oil
- Garlic, minced
- Dried oregano
- Dried basil
- Dried rosemary, crushed

HOW TO MAKE Goat Cheese Stuffed MUSHROOMS
If you are preparing these ahead of time, do not preheat the grill at this time; if you are serving them right away, you need to oil and preheat your grill.
Using canola oil and a cloth, oil the grates of your grill, then preheat the grill to medium-high heat, about 375 – 400 degrees F. Clean the mushrooms by rinsing under cold water and wiping them with paper towels.
Carefully remove the mushroom stems. You can discard them if you like, but adding them to your pot when you make homemade vegetable stock is a great use for them too! Using a small spoon, gently remove some of the soft meat that was around the stem. Place the mushroom caps on a baking sheet and set aside.
In a small bowl, add the goat cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, olive oil, oregano, basil, rosemary, Kosher salt, and fresh ground pepper. Stir the cheese mixture until well combined.
Spoon the cheese mixture into the mushroom caps filling them so they are full but not rounded and over full. Once they are all filled, sprinkle some panko breadcrumbs on the top of each cap. Press the panko down slightly so that it sticks to the cheese mixture.
Cooking your mushrooms on the grill
Place the cheese-stuffed mushrooms on the preheated and oiled grill and close the lid. It will only take about 6-8 minutes for them to cook.
You want the mushroom caps to be slightly wrinkled and the panko crumb topping to be toasted. This way you know that the cheesy center of the mushroom caps will be warmed through.
Once the goat cheese stuffed mushrooms are finished cooking on the grill, remove them to a serving platter. You can garnish them with a little chopped cilantro if you wish. I like it, as I think it adds a little splash of color to the mushrooms, plus a kick of freshness.
How do you make stuffed mushrooms not watery?
When cooking your mushrooms on the grill, you want to make sure that you cook them at a high enough heat and cook them long enough that most of the moisture will evaporate. They will still have a little moisture inside but just enough to make them nice and juicy and not dry. Look at how wonderful these look!!
What do you eat stuffed mushrooms with?
You could serve these stuffed mushrooms on their own as an appetizer or game day munchie. You could also serve them as an appetizer course for dinner with family and friends.
These tangy stuffed mushrooms would pair perfectly with any protein from chicken to pork. Maybe serve them with a BBQ Beer Can Chicken, always a favorite in our house. Or how about these amazing Baby Back Ribs on the Grill? After all, who doesn’t like tender baby back ribs?
Look at that juicy little bite! I know that your mouth is watering looking at that tender stuffed mushroom cap! Go ahead, make a batch tonight; it really only takes less than 25 minutes from start to finish!
