Description
Deliciously stuffed cremini mushrooms filled with a savory Reuben mixture, perfect as an appetizer or party dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 16–18 oz cremini (baby bella) mushrooms (or small portobello)
- 2 Tbsp avocado or olive oil
- Salt coarse sea or kosher (to taste)
- Black pepper (to taste)
- 6 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 8 oz corned beef (diced small)
- 1/3 cup sauerkraut (squeezed)
- 3/4 cup shredded Swiss cheese
- 3 Tbsp Thousand island dressing
- 1/4 cup shredded Swiss cheese (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉ and lightly grease a 9×13 baking dish.
- Rinse the mushrooms quickly under cold running water and pat them dry.
- Carefully pop the stems off each mushroom. (Food waste tip: you can sauté mushroom stems or add them to other veggies to sauté instead of discarding.)
- Create extra room in the mushroom: scrape out the brown membrane (the gills) under the cap to create extra room in the mushroom cap for stuffing.
- Toss each prepared mushroom cap with some oil, salt, and pepper and place into the baking dish to be stuffed.
- Combine the finely diced corned beef, squeezed sauerkraut, softened cream cheese, shredded Swiss cheese, Thousand Island dressing, and some salt and pepper in a mixing bowl. Use a spatula to mix everything together until evenly combined.
- Fill each mushroom cap generously with the Reuben mixture, stuffing it with a dome on top.
- Sprinkle each stuffed mushroom cap with some Swiss cheese.
- Bake for about 30 minutes. Let the mushrooms rest for a few minutes before transferring them to the serving platter.
Notes
- Be generous with filling but not to the point that the dome is bigger than the mushroom.
- This recipe can also be adapted with other cheeses if desired.
