Do you ever have those days in the kitchen where it seems like nothing is going your way? In spite of being a food blogger, I have more than my fair share of kitchen flops and these Creamy Bruschetta Stuffed Mushrooms were born out of a totally chaotic day in the kitchen when it seemed like absolutely nothing was going to turn out right. And then these happened…
I can’t remember whose idea it was – mine, or my assistant Ana’s – to add cream cheese and fresh herbs to our bruschetta stuffed mushroom filling, but after one bite of these Creamy Bruschetta Stuffed Mushrooms I just didn’t care whose idea it was. It was the perfect marriage of creaminess and the sharp bruschetta flavor that we all know and love, with lots of aromatic herbs…right at the end of the longest kitchen day ever. We snapped photos and then feasted. It was glorious!
If you love bruschetta or if you love stuffed mushrooms, or even if you just love appetizers in general, then you will simply adore these Creamy Bruschetta Stuffed Mushrooms. They’re the perfect combination of two of everyone’s favorite appetizers and aside from being insanely delicious, they’re also incredibly easy to make!
We’re in the height of fresh tomato season right now where I live and using the ripest and most flavorful tomatoes (along with fresh herbs, of course) in these Creamy Bruschetta Stuffed Mushrooms is definitely a game changer. But because tomatoes are readily available throughout the year these aren’t just a summer appetizer – they can be enjoyed year round at all your favorite parties and get-togethers!

I had never had stuffed mushrooms before and these were amazing! You do need to eat them immediately. I have used this recipe in the past and have looked it up again to make it now!
We’re so happy that you enjoyed our recipe. Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback!
Could you make these a day ahead
Sure! Just reheat them in the oven so the cheese gets melty and crispy on top.
Can I cook these and serve them a couple of hours later at room temperature?
You could, however they are best served hot.
I don’t understand. Why am I putting the mushrooms up side down?
Where does the bruschetta come into play? There isn’t any mention of it in the ingredients or inductions.
Sounds good, but moving on to another recipe.
You place them top side down and fill them with the creamy bruschetta mixure that you made in instruction number 3.
These mushrooms were a huge hit in our house! The recipe made almost double the mushrooms it said it would (maybe mine were really shallow?) and I didn’t even have the full amount of cream cheese (I can only imagine the creaminess…) Wahoo for extras! The flavours fit so well together. The fresh herbs just made everything pop. Love this recipe. Thanks, Chrissie!!
So glad you loved these Heather!! And yes, the amounts can sometimes be off if your mushrooms are smaller or bigger – glad you enjoyed the extras! We also make these with portobello mushrooms sometimes as a light meal 😉
