STUFFED MUSHROOMS | the best vegetarian recipe for Thanksgiving & Christmas

Stuffed mushrooms are always a party favorite, especially during the holidays! Soft mushroom caps are stuffed with a cheesy, herby, and garlicky filling. Then baked until golden with crumbled pecans on top. The perfect vegetarian appetizer I'd say!
Unlike most stuffed mushroom recipes, this one is gluten-free, as I've swapped panko breadcrumbs for chopped pecans. And I think it really elevates the flavor! It's truly an appetizer both vegetarian and non-vegetarians will love. And perfect for both Thanksgiving and Christmas. Because everyone craves cozy, indulgent foods during the holidays right? So, let me show you how to make the best stuffed mushrooms recipe ever!

I've eaten SO many of these stuffed mushrooms in the past two weeks photographing and filming the recipe.... and I'm not mad about it! 🤣 Hope you guys enjoy the recipe as much as I do! xo - Lisa

[@sanguinelynx]

These look crazy good, and I'm thrilled it's gluten free!

[@mariacasella979]

These look delicious!😋

[@marirose19]

OMGawd. Yummy.

[@darblanchard3968]

I am gluten free and so excited to try this. Thank you 😊

[@tl4214]

Thank you!

[@SSilva-pu9fi]

What I also like to do with these is pop them in the oven for about 10 minutes before stuffing them to get rid of all the water. Take them out, sprinkle some salt and pepper inside for extra flavour, stuff them with the mixture and get them back in the oven. They turn out perfect this way!

[@Downshiftology]

Great idea! I'll have to try that next time 😊

[@RoseOfSaudia]

S. Silva at what temperature please?!

[@orosedobheathaabhaile]

@@RoseOfSaudia I imagine it's the same temperature?

[@ambermckinney3430]

Great suggestion!

[@rodneymcknight3767]

I tried this (5 minutes). Helped a lot..thanks for the suggestion!

[@mickeyluo2886]

More vegetarian or pescatarian recipes please! I love them so much, they always turn out better than expected.

[@Downshiftology]

Absolutely! Stay tuned 😊

[@evenoddprime]

My family thinks i am an amazing cook because of you. But in reality im just a dork on youtube. Thank you!

[@GolDreadLocks]

Thank you, this is REALLY delish! The first time I had these a friend had made them, she used walnuts instead of pecans, and spinach instead of parsley, plus a bit of chives and a thai chili! Both versions are soooo good!

[@amberbritt9555]

My mouth is watering Lisa! These look SO delicious. I can’t wait to make them!!

[@Downshiftology]

You’re going to love these cheesy bites Amber! Excited to see how yours turn out.

[@nora-cu1de]

I bought mushrooms yesterday. It’s perfect timing! I’ve never made stuffed mushrooms . I wanna make this 💕

[@Downshiftology]

Can't wait for you to try this recipe!

[@vahanantaramian9178]

These were such a hit for our Christmas dinner! Thanks so much!

[@jodyarmstrong6667]

OMG making these for our Christmas Eve lunch! I've tried a few different stuffed mushroom recipes and none of them have blown me away. i love so many of your recipes that i already know this will be a winner! xo

[@Downshiftology]

Can't wait to see how your stuffed mushrooms turn out this Christmas Jody!

[@sarahmcelhaney687]

I made these for Thanksgiving and they were so good! Everyone loved them and we were all fighting over who got the last one! Such a good recipe. I will be making these more often. Thanks for sharing.

[@Downshiftology]

Thrilled to hear everyone enjoyed this over Thanksgiving Sarah!

[@mariacasella6474]

4months later and I still make these-they are soooo good!!

[@BayShore2001]

I"m definitely going to make these, thank you for sharing!

[@Downshiftology]

Of course! Hope you enjoy 😊

[@stephanie5471]

Ooooh! These look so yummy!! 😋 Can’t wait to make them!

[@tinabean4278]

Yummy, I'll have to try this! What's crazy is just yesterday we had a pot luck at work. Someone brought in stuffed mushrooms and they were gone so quickly! Can't wait to try to make some myself using this recipe!

[@Downshiftology]

They really do disappear so fast every time someone brings these to a holiday party 😊 Excited for you to make this one Tina!

[@calvinkoh1869]

They look delicious! Perfect to make for my family!

[@Downshiftology]

These are definitely a family friendly appetizer! Hope they love it Calvin 😊

[@eliasbusch9368]

Soo grateful for all the vegetarian recipes!

Great for added crunch and a GF option 😊

[@LaMexicanaBonita95]

Stuffed mushrooms are literally life. Looks like I know what I'll be trying !

[@pilarlopez9490]

Oohh Lisa that looks amazing! Definitely making this soon! Thank you so much for sharing ❤

[@Downshiftology]

Yes! Or any holiday event really 😉

[@kajaljhazha3500]

I have made these twice in a week, literally so good.

[@cathyphegley7414]

Oh boy oh boy oh boy! Perfect Thanksgiving appetizer. I always go to my dear friends’ house and a vegetarian dish is always welcome. So easy to make and I can pop them in the oven when I arrive! Thanks Lisa💕

[@Downshiftology]

Hope everyone enjoys these stuffed mushrooms! 😊

[@rodneymcknight3767]

I've been making these all week long. First batch was a little salty for me so next batch I used salt free butter and did not add salt. Delicious! Next batch I added a little Hellmans mayo and some sautéed lump crabmeat ..Delicious again! I also took S. Silva"s suggestion to put the mushrooms in at 400 for 5 minutes to dry out the mushroom..Thanks Lisa!!!! I''ve recently limited my lectin intake and feel so much better in my gut....no more diarrhea! Thanks for sharing your story concerning gluten (lectins)..

[@juliarevaloarevalo]

I had no idea what I was going to bring for our family’s thanksgiving dinner… you just saved my life! 😬

[@Downshiftology]

Glad this came in handy Juliana! I'm sure everyone will love this recipe 😊

[@johnpinckney4979]

I like this one. I'm a recycled bachelor who sautees the mushroom caps before stuffing. I use Boursin, Alouette, or a similar cheese as the stuffing. After stuffing, I bake as you did.

[@adsmith04]

Definitely making these for XMAS. Happy Holidays!

[@Downshiftology]

Can't wait to see how your stuffed mushrooms turn out Denise! 😊

[@charlottea.9642]

Oh wow, that looks amazing! I will definitely try making these.

[@MaryUkraine]

Thank you so much for your recipe and in general for your channel! The mushrooms turned out so great! The stuffing could be used a spread on its own. Could not stop eating and now recommend to everyone!

[@barbiec4312]

Definitely making this for a holiday party. Might try them tonight for dinner too! They look amazing. Thank you.

[@Downshiftology]

Woo! They honestly are great for anytime during the holiday season. Can't wait to see how they turn out.

[@chezmoi42]

If you make them for dinner, you can also use the larger mushrooms, so it's less fussy than making finger food. They are a great way to serve up leftover meats, grains, and veg - 'Thanksgiving leftovers edition' would be fabulous over the weekend.

[@ofeliadamian4274]

I’m going to make this recipe soon! Thanks.

[@alexisa.9256]

I've been searching far and wide for recipes that I can make, master, and love so I can bring them to social events, but most of them involve a lot of unhealthy ingredients/carbs/too much sugar. On the flip side, you do an AMAZING job incorporating healthy options and breaking everything down for me from start to finish, including the pro tips. Thank you for making my experience in the kitchen something to look forward to every single day, because everything you make turns out extremely delicious!! Please keep doing what you're doing, you are a blessing!

I will give it a trial run this weekend. Thank You!
