Stuffed Mushrooms Recipe

Making keto stuffed mushrooms with cream cheese is pretty easy.

Of course you don’t need specific mushrooms like portabellas but I used specific stuffing mushrooms to get as much inside area as possible for the cream cheese.

While this is a vegan stuffed mushroom, you can also stuff them with precooked crab meat, sausage, bacon- pretty much anything you love to bite into.

You can make tons of kinds with this base cream cheese recipe and put a variety of mushroom caps on your appetizer tray.

And don’t be afraid- this is a totally simple side dish recipe that you can do.

Keto Stuffed Mushrooms

Carbs in mushrooms are pretty slim. In fact, there are only about 3 carbs in a cup of whole mushrooms. Adding the goodies like cheese and butter alters that, so check our carb manager calculation to see below the estimated carb count for these.

• 12 whole mushrooms -I used stuffing mushrooms
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 6 ounces cream cheese, cubed
• 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or omit if you don’t like spice)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Flavor Tip: These keto mushrooms with cream cheese have a little kick with the cayenne, but its easy to omit if you do not want any spice.
