- 🍶 2 tablespoons sour cream

Direction
- Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a large baking dish with foil and spray it with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.

- Stuff the mushroom caps generously with the artichoke mixture and arrange them in the prepared baking dish.
- Bake for 17 to 20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is hot and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
My Story
These Artichoke Stuffed Mushrooms became one of my go-to party appetizers after I made them for a gathering with friends. I love making dishes that feel a little indulgent but don’t require hours in the kitchen—and these totally fit the bill. The combination of the creamy filling and the earthy mushrooms is like a flavor match made in heaven. The first time I made these, they disappeared so fast that I barely had time to snap a photo! I’ve since made them for everything from holiday dinners to casual get-togethers, and they’re always a crowd favorite. They’re an easy way to impress your guests without stressing out, and everyone always asks for the recipe!
FAQ
Can I use different types of mushrooms?
Yes, you can! While I recommend button mushrooms for their mild flavor and sturdy caps, you can use cremini or portobello mushrooms as well. Just be sure to adjust the stuffing portion based on their size.
Can I make the filling ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the filling a day ahead and store it in the fridge. When you’re ready to serve, just stuff the mushrooms and bake them.
Can I make these vegetarian?
This recipe is already vegetarian, so you’re good to go! It’s creamy, savory, and full of flavor without needing any meat.
What should I serve these with?
These stuffed mushrooms are great on their own or served with a light salad. You can also pair them with other appetizers like a cheese board or fresh veggies.
How do I store leftovers?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, bake them at 350°F for 10 minutes, or until warm.
Suggestion
- Serve them with a tangy dipping sauce like ranch or marinara for extra flavor.
- Make these ahead for a holiday party—assemble and refrigerate, then bake just before serving.
- Try swapping the artichokes for spinach for a spinach-artichoke version.
- Top with a sprinkle of breadcrumbs before baking for an extra crunchy topping.
- Add a little bit of crumbled bacon to the filling for a smoky twist.
Conclusion
These Artichoke Stuffed Mushrooms are the perfect combination of creamy, savory, and cheesy, making them an ideal addition to any appetizer spread. They’re incredibly easy to make but pack a punch when it comes to flavor. Whether you’re making them for a special occasion or just as a treat for yourself (no judgment here!), they’ll always be a crowd-pleaser. Plus, they come together in under 30 minutes, so you can spend more time enjoying the company of your guests rather than slaving away in the kitchen. Serve them at your next get-together, and watch them disappear. I promise, these stuffed mushrooms will become one of your new go-to appetizers.
