Herbed Goat Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms.
Hey hi, we have cheesy-veggie things to talk about today!
Stopping in for a quick post today to share these EASY stuffed mushrooms. I absolutely love these mushrooms, as did my family. My go-to recipe idea girl, Lyndsie, suggested that I make stuffed mushrooms for New Years and I was all about it. Plus, I had a surplus of goat cheese on hand that I knew would make for the most perfect filling. I’m just going to go out and say it…these are addicting, and if you make them for New Years I highly suggest that you double the recipe…these go FAST.
Like I said, they’re so easy, just mix up some goat cheese, fontina cheese, parmesan, and a generous amount of fresh herbs. Then stuff it all in some cremini mushrooms and bake. Could not be easier and you can totally stuff the mushrooms in advance and bake before serving. They make for the perfect New Year’s Eve appetizer or snack…which we will be needing many of both in my house.
The new group of visitors arrives today so, let the craziness continue. I am really trying to do my best to soak up all the family time and be in the moment. It’s not the easiest for me, as you may have guessed, I am a workaholic. But I had so much fun on our day of snowmobiling and again snowboarding in the backyard with my brothers and little sister on Christmas, so I’m hoping to spend at least one more full day with everyone before the holidays are over. I know that Red and Kai are dying to take me up on the hill snowboarding (like the real hill, not the backyard) and I promised Cait, Kai’s girlfriend, that I’d go with her, so I’ll have to make that happen this week for sure.
In other news, we don’t have any major plans for New Years, but I’m sure we will be making a feast, as I’ve heard that Lyndsie’s family loves to cook. One thing that I know for sure is that these mushrooms will be on the menu. Along with some cocktails that I’ll be sharing on Friday…
Get excited, they are delish, fun and easy! So what are you guys up to this week? Any New Years plans? I’m planning to share a couple more recipes this week, as well as a fun round-up post, so be sure to check back for those!
OKOK, and when planning your New Year’s menu, just be sure that these herbed goat cheese stuffed mushrooms are on it. I LOVE using the goat cheese in place of cream cheese that’s most typically used when stuffing mushrooms. These are maybe the best stuffed mushrooms ever, the cheese and herb pairing is perfection, and I’m thinking that most of you out there really do need them in you life.
Perfect way to send off 2016 and welcome in 2017 if you ask me!!

PS. I like to double stuff my mushrooms…the more cheese the better! Yes, please!
Delicious and simple, these look great!
Thank you Rhian! I hope you love them!
You can’t have too much cheese! Just as long as it’s creamy enough to fill the mushroom cap. I agree — it’s the perfect appetizer for New Years!! And we are starting New Years with a veggie – a good sign for a healthy start, right? 😉
Haha yes a good sign for a healthy New Year!! Thank you so much Marisa, I hope you love these!
I wish I liked mushrooms because so many recipes call for them–but I can’t–ugh.
Now that pasta dish yesterday –I’m for sure making that.
Well I hope you love the pasta dish Nancy!! Thank you!
Omg, these sound incred and they look even better! My mom was already planning some stuffed mushrooms for our New Year’s menu so she’s gonna love this recipe. So happening, thanks T!
Perfect!! I hope you and your family loves these Tori! Thank you!
I love stuffed mushrooms and goat cheese and your recipe looks great. I am cooking a New Years Dinner with some friends and your stuffed mushrooms would make a great appetizer.
They would make a great appetizer for you and your friends! I hope you love them, Gerlinde! Thank you!
Oooh these mushrooms look fantastic!! I hope you had an amazing Christmas, Tieghan <3
Thanks so much Sarah! My Christmas was awesome, I hope yours was good as well!!
OMG my partner would kiss my feet if I made these for him. And other things. Now I’m trying to think of all the other recipes I could manage to replace cream cheese with the soft goat variety. Could I also use parm on top?
Hey Stacy! Yes! Still use the parmesan, that will be great! 🙂 Hope you love these!
This looks amazing!
Thank you Sara!
These sound amazing!
Thanks so much Ryan!!
Oh Man!!! They are going on the New Year’s Eve Menu. How long in advance do you think I could make them? I’m thinking they wouldn’t freeze well, maybe/maybe not??? (you know, for those times when mushrooms go on sale – and then you have a quick appetizer in the freezer)
I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you for all the recipes you have given us this year. Very much appreciated.
Hi! You can make these 2-3 days in advance. I have never tried freezing them, but I am not sure how the goat cheese would hold up. I have not tried, so I just can’t say. Let me know if you have other questions. Hope you love these and thank you so much for the kind words. Have a great New Year!
Definitely my kind of mushrooms!
Looks so good and tasty.
Thank you Maëva!
Hmm these look so goot!

Thank you!
I really can’t peel myself away from this blog today, and I’m not complaining in the slightest. These look stinking delicious! Okay, sorry, I’ll be done. For today. 😉
Haha! I love reading all your comments today! Thanks so much again!! Happy new years!
Made these for New Years Eve. Definitely a hit! Yumm! Also made boneless chicken wings dipped in with your barbecue sauce recipe. 🙂
I am so glad you loved these! Thank you Liz!
Stuffed mushrooms are the best, these look fab!!
They are seriously so delish!! Thank you Laura!
Is that suppose to be 1 ounce of goat cheese or 6-8 ounces of goat cheese? These look fantastic!
I was also wondering how many ounces of goat cheese you were trying to specify?
It is 8 ounces goat cheese. Please let me know if you have other questions. Hope you love this recipe! Thanks! 🙂
I love these with all the tiny pieces of my heart. First time stuffing mushrooms and they came out perfect. So much cheese….droooooool. We haven’t cooked a single recipe that didn’t come from this site for more than 6 months now. Never fails!
Love that! Thank you so much Tracy! xTieghan
I can have the goat cheese, but not the fontina (cow’s milk is not my friend). Can I make these without the fontina? Any substitute suggestions?.
Hey Heather,
Absolutely, really any combo of cheese that you enjoy will work here! I hope you love the recipe. Let me know if there is anything else I can help with! Happy New Year! xTieghan
