How to Make Olive Garden Stuffed Mushrooms

• Step 1 – Prepare oven and baking dish. – Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. – Spray a baking dish large enough to hold the mushrooms with a non-stick cooking spray. 

Step 2 – Clean and remove stems from mushrooms. Remove the stems off the mushrooms from top of the mushrooms. Clean with a dry paper towel (due not use water or it will make the mushrooms soggy).  

Step 3 – Mix clam stuffing ingredients together – Stir together all the filling ingredients in a mixing bowl. 

Step 4 – Divide the stuffing mixture in the mushroom cap – Add 1-2 spoons of the mixture inside mushroom cavity and slightly mound. Place filling side up on the baking dish. You should be able to stuff 8-12 mushrooms based on the size of your mushrooms.  

Step 5 – Top with Melted Butter – Then drizzle ¼ cup of melted butter and oregano over the prepared mushrooms.  Cover the small baking dish with foil and bake for 20-30 minutes until the mushrooms are tender.

Recipe Tips

• Make in advance – You can easily make these ahead of time. We recommend making the same day your want to serve them. Just prepare as recipe indicates and place in the refrigerator.
• Dry Mushrooms – Make sure mushrooms are dry before stuffing with the mixture. Pat dry any moisture that is on the mushrooms.
• Cheeses – You can use different types of cheese. Parmesan, Romano Cheese, Italian Cheese and Mozzarella cheeses are good suggestions.
• Shredded Cheese – We recommend freshly grated mozzarella cheese instead of the prepacked shredded cheese.

How to Store

These are best served fresh but you can refrigerate the leftovers for up to 3 days.  Reheat in the oven or air fryer to make them heated through and slightly crispy again.
