Man oh man do I love me some stuffed mushrooms. Honestly you could probably stuff them with just about anything and I’d show up at your door, drooling and ready to eat. That’s incentive to make some, right?
Wait, no? It’s not? Forget I said it then. But I do love stuffed mushrooms – I can’t and I won’t apologize for that!
I remember once upon a time when Nate and I first started dating he was adamant about the fact that he? He did NOT like mushrooms. They were gross, they were slimy, they were fungus and for crying out loud he was not eating fungus. I tried time and time again to get him to eat some, just try a bite off of my plate for crying out loud!, they’re delicious, real men eat mushrooms…none of it worked. He wasn’t having it.
Just to clarify, when you’re in a relationship with someone please don’t make the mistake of thinking you can change them. It won’t happen. I do maintain that if it’s something that’s worth it that they will be the ones to change. Here’s why:
One day I come home from work to find Nate making mushrooms. Sauteed in butter. Deglazed with a little wine. And served with steak. Oh, and raving about how great mushrooms are and hey! Have I ever tried mushrooms this way?
Yes dear. Yes I have 🙂
QUINOA STUFFED MUSHROOMS
- 2 pints baby bella or white mushrooms, wiped clean
- 1/2 cup cooked quinoa
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 egg white
- 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 tsp black pepper
- pinch of salt
Preheat oven to 375. Remove the woody stems from the mushrooms, reserving about 1/4 cup of them. Place the mushrooms cap-side down in a baking dish. Mix together all of the other ingredients until combined. Finely chop the mushroom stems and fold them into the quinoa mixture. Spoon some into each mushroom cap – it’s ok if overflows a bit! Bake at 375 for 15-20 minutes until the tops are golden brown. Serve hot!
You know, I’d like to point out that these are in fact gluten free, but more importantly completely delicious!
Ha! I never really understand my husband’s dislikes 🙂
These look awesome! Never ever thought to combine quinoa with feta to stuff into mushrooms….YUM!!
Ha! That’s too funny, my husband used to say that he hated mushrooms too but he’s since changed his tune.
Loooove stuffed mushrooms 🙂 Thanks for the recipe!
Brilliant idea!
I’m dangerous around stuffed mushrooms especially at a party. I will steal the plate and defend myself and the mushrooms with a plastic fork if I have to. Good grief do those look good.
for the first 7 years I knew Jason, he would not TOUCH broccoli. now? I catch him eating it raw!! 😀
these look amazing!
my boyfriend HATES mushrooms! this is good encouragement for me 🙂 haha
I should also point out he loves bacon, beef, and beer, while I am a veggie lovin’, wine drinking non-meat eater….
just goes to show, love comes in all forms! 🙂
sigh. how yummy!!
Mmm, looks great!!
Mmm mmm so tasty looking!
I think I’d pop these like candy!
Ooooh, I Love how creamy these look! And the quinoa automatically makes them healthy, right? 🙂
Mushrooms? Oh yeah. But you said the magic word: feta. These look stupendous!
My husband still teases me about the fact that I used to hate mushrooms. Now I can’t get enough of it!
Peter hates mushrooms too. I love them and always wish he would eat them more because then I would make tons of mushroom based dinners. I wonder if I could get him to try these!
I love stuffed mushrooms! My mom has a great recipe – https://yellebellyboo.blogspot.com/2011/12/moms-stuffed-mushrooms.html – although they’re quite a bit more buttery than yours.
Your recipe is really different – I love the idea of the quinoa but I’m not so sure about cream cheese…. I’ll have to try them and let you know! I’m always up for something new!
I could probably live off stuffed mushrooms and be very, very happy about it. Throwing quinoa in there is a great idea!
These look amazing!! I used to hate mushrooms too until a few years ago- now I can’t get enough of them!
Oh my gosh, not only do I love stuffed mushrooms–seriously, any day, any time, I’m up for them! But I think i love you for this great idea! I’m always looking for new ways to use mushrooms.
Oh, and when I met my husband, he hated mushrooms. Wouldn’t even touch them. Now he can’t get enough. 😉
I’m with you, I can’t, for the life of me, understand people who don’t like mushrooms! These look phenom 🙂
