Feta and Ham Stuffed Mushrooms

Vegetables
Be the first to rate it!

These stuffed mushrooms with feta cheese and ham are one of those fuss-free recipes that I love whipping up to share. They're ready in 25 minutes with just a handful of ingredients and zero hassle: I combine the feta with diced ham and a touch of oregano to create a savory, satisfying filling that goes perfectly with the mushrooms.

To make these baked stuffed mushrooms, I like to pick large caps because they're much easier to fill. A bit of garlic powder and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil round out the recipe without overshadowing the cheese and ham. The amounts here serve two, making them a great appetizer or an easy side for dinner.

Frequently asked questions

How should I store leftover stuffed mushrooms?

Keep them in an airtight container in the fridge within two hours of cooking, and eat them within one to two days. Only reheat the ones you plan to eat, making sure they're piping hot all the way through.

Can I replace the feta with another cheese?

Yes, crumbled goat cheese or well-drained fresh mozzarella both work nicely. Mozzarella will give you a milder result, while goat cheese keeps that bold, tangy flavor.

Can feta and ham stuffed mushrooms be frozen?

You can freeze them once cooked and completely cooled, although mushrooms tend to soften and release liquid when thawed. For the best texture, I prefer enjoying them fresh; if you do freeze them, thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.
