What You’ll Need for Keto Stuffed Mushrooms

Essential Ingredients

  • 12 large button mushrooms
  • 150g full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 1 clove of minced garlic
  • 50g grated parmesan
  • 3 chopped green onions

Chopped Bell Peppers

For a colourful twist, add chopped bell peppers. They bring extra sweetness and a slight crunch, complementing the creamy filling perfectly. Use red or yellow peppers to make the dish more visually appealing. Incorporate them into the cream cheese mixture or sprinkle on top for a delightful effect.

Why Use Fresh Herbs

Fresh herbs enhance the flavour profile, making your keto stuffed mushrooms more aromatic. Using fresh herbs like parsley or chives can elevate the taste, providing a bright contrast to the creamy filling. They also add a splash of colour which makes the dish more inviting.
