    Ham & Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms - Keto, Low Carb, Grain-Free, Gluten-Free, THM S

    Stuffed mushrooms are one of my favorite appetizers. Unfortunately, I'm rarely able to order them in restaurants because most have stuffing, bread crumbs, or other fillers. All you really need for a great mushroom cap is cheese and one or two other flavorful ingredients.

    These new Mushrooms with Cheese and Ham may be my favorite. They are one of the easiest mushroom appetizers I have ever made and they are completely delicious. I served them to our dinner company and everyone loved them.

    How to Make Stuffed Mushrooms

    Ham & Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms are a very easy appetizer to make. First, you brush any dirt off the mushrooms with a damp cloth or paper towel. You do not want to get the mushrooms wet or they absorb the water and get soggy. Then break off the stem. You can save the stems for mushroom soup, other mushroom recipes, or discard them. I do not add them to the filling in this recipe.

    After that, you mix together the ingredients needed for whatever filling you are using. Typically stuffed mushrooms have a type of meat or seafood, cheese, many times bread crumbs, and seasonings. I leave out the bread crumbs. The tops brown from the cheese and since the filling is so thick you don't need a binding agent.

    In this recipe, I use ham and cheese for the filling. I have other mushrooms recipes that use sausage peppers and onions, chicken marinara sauce and mozzarella, and a vegetable-based one with shredded zucchini.

    Ingredients for Stuffed Mushrooms with Cheese

    white mushrooms - you can use any size mushrooms but will need to adjust the cooking time

    cream cheese - make sure it is softened so the filling mixes easily

    shredded cheese - I used a two cheese blend of cheddar and monterey jack

    deli ham - I prefer thinly sliced ham chopped but leftover baked ham cut into small cubes can work too

    How Long to Bake Stuffed Mushrooms

    I bake my ham and cheese stuffed mushrooms for 30 minutes at 400. This is enough time to heat the filling, soften the mushrooms, and brown the cheese on top.

      It's a frigid -25 wind chill night here in Wyoming and after doing chores in knee deep snow, I needed something quick and EASY to feed the hubby and me, and warm up our tummies. This was so simple, relatively inexpensive absolutely DELISH and took only a few minutes to make. Thank you for this and all of your wonderful recipes!!

      I made these tonight, and they were so tasty! One suggestion -- I took my stuffed mushroom out of the oven after 20 minutes, and they were still overcooked. I would suggest 20 minutes at 350 degrees, rather than what is suggested. 😀5 stars

      I spy a Pampered Chef stone - beautiful! Thanks for the great recipe idea - I was looking for something more exciting to do with my leftover Thanksgiving ham! Soooo boring to just eat it with a smear of mustard on it...5 stars
