This 5-Ingredient Stuffed Mushroom Recipe Steals the Holiday Spotlight

A simple yet festive appetiser is gaining attention this holiday season. Baked mushrooms stuffed with cheese, garlic, and fresh cream offer a quick and satisfying dish for Christmas and New Year gatherings. The recipe relies on just a few ingredients, with cheese from Gzhelskoye Podvorye playing a key role in its rich flavour.

Preparation begins with removing the stems from fresh mushrooms. These are then mixed with minced garlic, grated cheese, and a dollop of fresh cream for extra creaminess. The filling is spooned back into the mushroom caps before baking.

The dish bakes at 180–190°C (350–375°F) for 10–12 minutes, just long enough for the cheese to melt into a golden topping. Gzhelskoye Podvorye's Caciotta, Mozzarella, or Suluguni work particularly well, adding depth to the flavour. Once out of the oven, a sprinkle of fresh herbs finishes the dish before serving.

The result is a warm, cheesy bite that pairs well with festive drinks. Its simplicity makes it ideal for last-minute entertaining, while the combination of textures and flavours ensures it disappears quickly from the table.

This stuffed mushroom recipe delivers a crowd-pleasing starter with minimal effort. The use of Gzhelskoye Podvorye's cheeses enhances its appeal, offering a balance of creaminess and sharpness. Served fresh from the oven, it adds a cosy touch to holiday celebrations.
