There is something about the combination of cream cheese and spicy peppers that just hits the spot. These stuffed mushrooms take that classic jalapeño popper flavor and tuck it into tender mushroom caps, making them a fantastic appetizer for holidays or game day afternoons.

My best tip for these is to wipe your mushrooms clean with a damp paper towel rather than rinsing them under water. This keeps the caps firm while they bake so they do not turn soggy in the oven.

🧺 Ingredients

1 pound large white or cremini mushrooms
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 fresh jalapeño peppers, seeded and finely diced
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
Salt and black pepper to taste

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
Remove the stems from the mushrooms and gently scoop out any gills with a small spoon to make room for the filling. Arrange the caps on your baking sheet.
3
In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, cheddar cheese, diced jalapeños, sliced green onions, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
4
Spoon the cheese mixture into each mushroom cap, mounding it slightly in the center.
5
Sprinkle the panko breadcrumbs over the top of each stuffed mushroom.
6
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is bubbly and golden brown.
7
Let them cool for a few minutes before serving warm.

💡 Tips

These mushrooms are best enjoyed fresh right out of the oven. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days and reheat them in a toaster oven to keep the topping crisp.
