Ingredients You Need
With just a handful of ingredients, you’ll have a dish that’s bursting with flavor and perfect for any occasion. Let’s dive into what you’ll need to make these little bites of heaven.
- Mushrooms: Look for medium-sized mushrooms with a sturdy cap, like cremini or button mushrooms. They’re the perfect size for stuffing, and their earthy flavor complements the cheesy filling.
- Boursin Cheese: You can use any flavor of Boursin, but the Garlic & Fine Herbs variety is a real winner here. It melts beautifully into the mushrooms, creating a creamy, flavorful filling for your stuffed mushrooms with Boursin.
- Bread Crumbs: A light sprinkle of bread crumbs adds a satisfying crunch on top. Opt for panko if you want extra crispiness.

How to Make Boursin Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms
- Clean the Mushrooms: Gently wipe each mushroom with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt. Avoid rinsing them under water, as mushrooms can absorb water and become soggy.
- Stuff the Mushrooms: Remove the stems from the mushrooms and fill each mushroom cap with a generous amount of Boursin cheese. Make sure the cheese is evenly spread inside the cap.
- Add the Bread Crumbs: Lightly sprinkle bread crumbs over the top of the stuffed mushrooms for a bit of added crunch.
- Bake the Mushrooms: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet and bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until they have softened and released some of their moisture.
Optional: You can run these stuffed mushrooms with Boursin cheese under the broiler for a minute or two to help crisp the breadcrumbs. Keep a close eye on them to make sure they do not burn.
Storage and Make Ahead Instructions
Make Ahead:
- You can prepare these easy stuffed mushrooms a few hours ahead of time, which is perfect for when you’re planning a gathering. Simply clean, stuff, and top the mushrooms with bread crumbs, then cover them with plastic wrap and store them in the refrigerator. When you’re ready to serve, just pop them in the oven and bake as directed.
Storage:
- If you have leftovers (though I doubt you will!), store the cooked mushrooms in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When you’re ready to enjoy them again, reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 5-7 minutes until warmed through. Avoid using the microwave, as it can make the mushrooms soggy.
Expert Recipe Tips:
Get Creative with Fillings: While Boursin cheese is a deliciously creamy choice, don’t be afraid to mix things up! You can stuff these mushrooms with ground beef, chicken sausage, turkey, or even a mix of cooked spinach and ricotta for a different flavor profile. Just cook the meat or vegetables first before stuffing.
Amp Up the Flavor with Herbs and Spices: Add a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley, thyme, or chives on top for an extra burst of flavor. You can also mix in a pinch of red pepper flakes, garlic powder, or smoked paprika into the cheese for a little kick.
Choose the Right Mushrooms: For the best results, use cremini or button mushrooms, which hold their shape well and have a nice, earthy flavor that complements the filling.
Perfectly Toasted Bread Crumbs: To get an extra crunchy topping, try lightly toasting the bread crumbs in a dry skillet before sprinkling them over the stuffed mushrooms. This adds a lovely texture contrast to the creamy filling.
Keep an Eye on the Broiler: If you decide to broil the mushrooms for a caramelized top, watch them closely. Mushrooms can go from perfectly browned to burnt in seconds under the broiler, so don’t step away!
Recipe FAQs
To keep stuffed mushrooms from becoming watery, avoid rinsing them under water. Instead, clean them with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt.
Stuffed mushrooms can become rubbery if they’re overcooked or if the mushrooms are too old. To avoid this, choose fresh mushrooms with firm caps, and be careful not to overbake them. Cooking them at a moderate temperature (around 375°F) for the right amount of time (10-15 minutes) helps maintain a tender texture.
No, you don’t need to peel mushrooms before stuffing them. The skin on mushrooms is completely edible and adds to the texture and flavor of the dish. Just clean them gently with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt before stuffing.
It’s best not to wash mushrooms under running water because they can absorb moisture, which may lead to soggy mushrooms. Instead, use a damp paper towel or a mushroom brush to gently wipe away any dirt. This will keep your mushrooms dry and perfect for stuffing.
