    I love easy appetizers that can be made ahead, and these Keto Stuffed Mushrooms are just that. You are going to love the combination of savory sausage, briny Manchego, and creamy ricotta cheese. Try it once and, like me, you will be addicted.

    Make Keto Stuffed Mushrooms in Just 20 Minutes!

    I am a fan of any dish that can be made ahead of time - especially appetizers. When I am entertaining, I am all about keeping things simple so that I can enjoy my guests rather than spending the whole time in the kitchen trying to impress them.

    These Keto Stuffed Mushrooms are my idea of make-ahead heaven. They can be made up to two days ahead of time, and all you have to do is pop them in the oven when you are ready to serve them.

    Plus, they are so simple to make that you don't have to wait for a special occasion - you can enjoy them as a side dish any time. (I love them with a steak!)

    I think you will agree that these stuffed mushrooms are a fabulous addition to any gathering - from game day, to your holiday table!

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Are stuffed mushrooms keto-friendly?

    These stuffed mushrooms are, but you have to be careful ordering them out because they often contain hidden carbs and breadcrumbs.

    What kind of mushrooms are good for stuffing?

    With over 300 edible mushrooms out there, there are a lot of different options! White button mushrooms are readily available in most all supermarkets and are an excellent option. Cremini and Portobello are other great options. I like to use giant portabello mushrooms when I am making a meal out of this recipe.

    How do I pick the best mushrooms?

    If you can find them, loose mushrooms (rather than pre-packaged) are a great option. This allows you to inspect them. Look for large caps that are intact and free from discoloration. They should feel damp and springy, and should never be slimy.

    How do I store mushrooms?

    Because of their high moisture content, mushrooms should be used soon after you purchase them. Store them in a partially opened zip-top bag, or their original container. If you open a container and don't use all of them, cover it with plastic wrap. Never cover them with a damp paper towel as this will cause them to deteriorate faster.

    How to Make Keto Stuffed Mushrooms

    1 First, preheat your oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Clean your mushrooms and place the caps, stem side down, on the prepared baking sheet. Cook for 6 minutes, and then remove from the oven. Transfer to paper towels and allow to drain. Turn the oven to broil.

    5 Stuff the mushroom caps with the cheese and sausage mixture and top with the manchego cheese. Broil until the cheese melts, about 5 minutes.

    Variations for This Recipe

    • Use crumbled cooked bacon in place of the sausage.
    • In place of the ricotta cheese, use softened cream cheese.
    • Switch the cheeses up - Smoked Gouda and Gruyere cheese are excellent here.

    Tip

    f making these Keto Stuffed Mushrooms ahead of time, remove them from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Bake for 5 minutes at 350 degrees and then broil until the cheese is bubbly.
