Cheese-Stuffed Mushrooms are a savory appetizer originating from Western cuisine, often featured in Italian-American menus. These bite-sized treats typically consist of fresh mushroom caps filled with a mixture of cream cheese, shredded Parmesan, garlic, breadcrumbs, and fresh herbs like parsley or thyme. The mushrooms are baked to perfection, offering a tender, earthy base complemented by a rich, creamy filling. While delicious, their nutritional profile can vary—mushrooms themselves are low in calories and packed with antioxidants, vitamins B and D, and minerals like selenium and potassium. However, the cheese and breadcrumbs can introduce higher amounts of fat, sodium, and refined carbohydrates, making moderation key to enjoying them as part of a balanced diet. Perfect for entertaining or a special indulgence, Cheese-Stuffed Mushrooms strike a delightful balance between flavor and texture.
