My family loves this recipe so much that it is requested over and over for Holidays. It is the perfect side dish for slow roasted prime rib. I love making it ahead of time and popping it in the over before our guests arrive.

Keto Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms

This is one of my favorite Keto appetizers. I have been known to make a batch at the beginning of the week and nosh on them all week long. They are the perfect keto snack!

Oven baking portobello mushrooms gives them a delicious texture, and the garlicky, cheesy stuffing is flat-out irresistible. You are going to love these cheesy keto mushrooms, I promise!

FAQs

What is the difference between Portobello or Portobella mushrooms?

Portobello and Portobella can be used interchangeably in this delectable portobello mushroom recipe. Neither spelling is incorrect!

What is the difference between Portobello and regular mushrooms?

Button, cremini, and portobello are actually all the same – they're just at different stages of growth!
They are all a part of the "agaricus bisporus" family. Portobello is fully grown button mushrooms and are large, making them perfect for stuffing. Cremini is somewhere in-between. You will even find cremini sold as baby bellas!

How to Clean Portobello Mushrooms

Mushrooms should always be wiped clean rather than rinsed. Many oven-baked portobello mushroom recipes remove the gills, but in this case, we leave the gills intact for extra flavor and juiciness.

  1. Start by removing the stem. Just trim it with a knife or twist it off. Tip: you can keep the stem to chop up for the stuffing instead of tossing it.
  2. Dampen a paper towel. You can also use a mushroom cleaning brush (this one is cute!).
  3. Gently scrub the cap with the paper towel to clean the outside. You may also want to scrub the gills, but don't remove them.
