White button mushrooms (champignon) or cremini (baby Bella) mushrooms work the best for this recipe. You can stuff portobellos too, but you will have to make more stuffing to fill this type of mushroom.

For demonstration purposes, I used a small pack (8 oz) of white button mushrooms from the grocery store which contained 10 mushrooms. It was just the right amount for me and my husband to have as a side dish for dinner. For holiday gatherings – at least quadruple the number of ingredients.

Do Ahead

If you want to serve the dish for a holiday dinner – you can prepare stuffed mushrooms a day ahead. 

Do steps 1-8 a day before the crowd is coming, cover the baking dish containing stuffed mushrooms with clear plastic wrap, and store in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Then bake the mushrooms the next day before serving (step 9 from instructions).
