Tips for the Best Stuffed Mushrooms

Don’t soak the mushrooms: Mushrooms naturally contain a lot of water, so gently wipe them clean instead of soaking them. This helps prevent the finished appetizer from becoming watery.

Adjust the heat: Love spicy food? Leave some of the jalapeño seeds in the filling. Prefer a milder flavor? Remove the seeds and membranes before dicing.

Make them ahead: Prepare the filling and clean the mushrooms ahead of time. Store them separately in the refrigerator, then assemble and bake when ready.

Don’t overcrowd the pan: Leave a little space between the mushrooms so they cook evenly.

Make It Your Own

One of the best things about these Jalapeño Popper Stuffed Mushrooms is how easy they are to customize.

Try adding:

• Pepper jack cheese for extra spice
• Parmesan cheese for a crispy topping
• Chopped spinach
• Everything bagel seasoning
• A sprinkle of smoked paprika
• Crumbled sausage instead of bacon
