I do love me some mushrooms. Portobellos are my favorites. We don’t have them often, but when we do, they’re a treat that feels decadent and special. When I have creamy goat cheese AND portobellos on hand at the same time, well… you know what I’m going to make – these incredibly delicious but oh-so-easy goat cheese stuffed portobellos!
You probably already guessed I make my own goat cheese, and if you’d like to make your own, check out this post on making chevre.
This simple cheesy filling can also be used in bite-sized mushrooms for appetizers or party snacks. And if you’re gluten free, you can skip the bread crumb topping, and they’ll still be knock-your-socks-off scrumptious.
Goat Cheese Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms
Savory portobello mushrooms stuffed with creamy seasoned goat cheese and topped with toasted Italian bread crumbs. So delicious, and yet so easy!
Ingredients
- 4 large portobello mushrooms stems and gills removed
- cooking spray
- 1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 cup goat cheese
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp chives chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350*.
-
Clean mushrooms, remove stems, and use a spoon to scrape out the dark gills. Spray the mushrooms with cooking spray and place them stem-side up on a foil-lined cookie sheet. Sprinkle with pepper. Bake for 8 minutes.
-
Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a small pan and toss the Italian bread crumbs in the butter. Set aside.
-
In a small bowl, mix together the cup of goat cheese, 1 teaspoon of lemon juice, 1 tablespoon chopped chives, and salt and pepper to taste.

Remove mushrooms from oven. Top each mushroom with 1/4 cup of the cheese mixture and sprinkle with toasted seasoned bread crumbs. Return them to the oven and bake an additional 5 - 7 minutes or until the mushrooms are tender.
