You won’t believe how easy these Panko, Cream Cheese & Herb Stuffed Mushrooms are to make. They look impressive, but take about 10 minutes of prep to get them ready to go in the oven. They make a great side dish for just about any meal.
My fiancé’s birthday was yesterday, but we celebrated a little early with a birthday date night last week. Mushrooms are one thing that he love but I can’t stand. I usually don’t think to make anything with them since I’m not a fan, but I’ve been trying to use them sometimes for Andrew.
A few months ago I tried making some stuffed mushrooms for him. He absolutely loved them! I knew they needed to be a part of his special birthday dinner. I decided to mix things up and create a new recipe for them using Progresso Panko Crispy Bread Crumbs.
You’ll definitely want to use Panko bread crumbs rather than regular bread crumbs for this recipe. Panko bread crumbs are light and crispy, while regular bread crumbs would make the filling for these mushrooms too dense.

Prepping the mushrooms and filling is so easy! You’ll be done in no time. Browning the bread crumbs adds flavor and texture to the filling. Adding the warm bread crumbs to the cream cheese will make it easier to mix.
Stuff the mushrooms with as much of the filling as you can. I found that there was a perfect amount to make them look nice and full but not tip over.
This may be the first recipe I’ve shared that I can’t really vouch for, but Andrew gave it a thumbs up! Of course, how can you go wrong with cream cheese? These stuffed mushrooms were a wonderful addition to his birthday dinner, and they make a great side for any meal.

I’m not a fan of mushrooms either! Something about the texture. But you’re so sweet for making them for your fiance anyway!
Jenna Brussee says
Yeah, I’m not a fan! These were so pretty and fun to make, so I was wishing I liked them. I don’t even like the smell so I didn’t try them. Andrew loved them, though!

Oh my gosh. These look simple to die for! I have become a big fan of mushrooms, lately… but only if they have some other sort of flavor with them (like these do!).
Jenna Brussee says
These definitely have lots of flavor! They are so easy and fun to make, too.
