I saw this recipe on Pioneer Woman and instantly knew I’ll be making it. I read through the ingredients list and thought they were easy, especially since I had some brie left over after making beetroot salad. Turns out that’s the only ingredient that’s common between her version and mine.
She used button mushrooms – I used portobello mushrooms
She used parsley and green onions – I used cilantro (coriander leaves) and totally forgot the green onions
She used brie – I used very little brie and then some mozarella
She didn’t use onions – I did
But the bottom line is, this turned out super yummy! Its a quick appetizer and sure to win over any mushroom-lover. You can also make big batches in one go, so its awesome when you are entertaining.
Here’s my version of mushrooms stuffed with cheese
Mushrooms Stuffed with Brie Cheese
Serves 2
Ingredients:
12 mini portobello mushrooms
1 small onion, chopped fine
1 small block of brie cheese
3 tbsp grated mozarella
1/4 – 1/2 cup lightly packed fresh coriander leaves
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp butter
Salt to taste
How I Made It:
1. Wash and remove the stems from the mushrooms. Pat dry with a dry kitchen napkin.
2. Melt butter in a skillet and add the mushrooms. Sprinkle with some salt and toss them around until well coated with the butter.
3. Arrange these on an oven-proof dish stem side up and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and onion and fry lightly for 30 seconds. Then add the chopped coriander leaves and sprinkle some salt. Toss around for a minute until the leaves soften. Take care not to fry or burn it.
5. Cut the brie into small squares and lightly press into the mushrooms, where the stems were removed from. Top off each mushroom then with grated mozarella. Finally sprinkle the coriander leaves mixture evenly.
6. Bake in a 180C/350F oven for 15 minutes/until the cheese is melted and soft.
This is one good-tasting appetizer. Its very forgiving so you can use pretty much any meltable cheese and any herb that takes your fancy. And yeah, apparently any kind of mushroom too 🙂
These were delicious. I didnt have modzorella so used Swiss cheese instead. Definitely will make again. Thank you
Very yummy recipe…new for me..
Thnx for sharing…
Wow so tempting…Never tried this before…
Cheesy mushrooms,looks good
I'm going to lick my computer screen when no one is looking. These look so perfect and I love how you substitute things and make it so different from the original recipe. And how it turns out so great! Love these.

Yes very true finally only the color matters but sometimes the texture too 🙂
Cheesy mushrooms,looks good
I love brie with crackers. those cute little baskets filled with brie look extremely tempting!
Hi nags, Lovely clicks dear, you are a brilliant photographer, I am not a great lover of mushroom I don't know why, whenever I see stuffed mushrooms in the super market I always thinking of trying them, but nobody likes them in the house, I have just tried them in pulav and made bondas with button mushrooms !!, someday I will try them, I am here also to wish you and your family a very happy new year, love to see lot more of your pics and creations year ahead, wishing you all the best dear
this is simply mouth watering Nags..cheesy melts in a bite size..yum
Looks yummy and seems pretty simple – great party fare…Happy New Year Nags…
thats a nice idea, Nags! I really want them now.. 🙂
wow,looks so tempting! I havent tried these kind of shrooms,once tried white button mushrooms…
A hard surface is always best, something you can wipe clean. Probably white mica covered plywood, or thick white rexine sheet? Material and beauty is not an issue, only the colour matters 🙂
20 dollars is worth it I guess as it looks so nice in the clicks! I have to put a cloth/tissue everytime & see to it that its ironed properly……:( Any other suggestion u have?
Looks inviting!
Good recipe and lovely pictures!
Such a tempting and cheesy stuffed mushrooms..makes me hungry!!
Sharmilee – its a small coffee table that I bought from Ikea for 20 dollars, for this purpose alone 🙂
This is super. Happy New year Nags
