    How to make Mediterranean Keto Stuffed Mushrooms: step-by-step guide

    Cooking methods

    • Baking

    Preparation steps

    1. Preheat the oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C).
    2. Line a baking sheet with a parchment paper.
    3. Clean the mushroom caps with damp paper towels.
    4. Remove the mushroom stems and finely chop them for the filling.
    5. Prepare the seasoning mixture by combining olive oil, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, sea salt, fresh pepper, and Italian seasoning.
    6. Prepare the stuffing mixture by combining chopped mushroom stems, feta cheese, and antipasto mix.

    Cooking instructions

    1. Preheat the cast-iron grill pan over high heat.
    2. Toss the mushroom caps with olive oil and spices.
    3. Add the mushrooms and lemon to the grill pan. Grill the mushrooms for 5 minutes on each side, flipping once until browned.
    4. Mix the feta cheese and antipasto together. Stuff the mixture into the caps.
    5. Grill the stuffed caps for an additional 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
    6. Once done, remove the mushrooms from the grill and sprinkle with parsley. Squeeze some charred lemon juice over the top. Serve hot.

    Chef's pro tip

    Stuffed mushrooms can get a bit soggy, so that's why we suggest you pre-bake the caps for a few minutes at 350Β°F (175Β°C). This process releases excess moisture, ensuring a firm and flavorful dish.

    How to make it healthier

    Check out these awesome tweaks you can try for a healthier spin on this recipe, tailored to fit your unique diet goals!

    • For a vegetarian version: omit the feta cheese and add more vegetables, such as zucchini, yellow squash, or carrots. You could also add a plant-based protein, such as tofu or tempeh.
    • For a vegan version: use vegan cheese instead of feta. You could also use a plant-based protein, such as tofu or tempeh.
    • For a gluten-free version: use gluten-free bread crumbs or quinoa flakes. You could also use a gluten-free pasta sauce but ensure that it has keto-friendly ingredients.
    • For a low-carb version: use cauliflower rice, fresh baby spinach, or zucchini noodles instead of the bread crumbs.

    Time-saving tips

    • Pre-chop mushroom stems and other ingredients to save time.

    What can I prepare ahead of time?

    • Clean and prepare mushroom caps in advance and store them in the refrigerator until ready to use.
    • Mix the seasoning and creamy filling and put it in an airtight container in the fridge.

    Storage and reheating instructions

    Leftover Storage

    • Place the leftovers in an airtight container with parchment paper between each mushroom for up to 3 days. Avoid overcrowding the container and freeze it if not consumed within 3 days.

    Reheating techniques

    • Spice up your leftovers game! Choose between the oven or microwave for a quick and easy reheat.
    • Oven magic: Preheat to 350Β°F (175Β°C), set your dish on a parchment-lined baking tray, and bake for 10-15 minutes. Microwave superstar: Pop it onto a microwave-safe plate and zap on medium for 1-2 minutes.
    • Reheating a bunch of mushrooms? No worries! Just bump up the cooking time and add a splash of water or chicken broth if needed. Dig in and enjoy right away!

    Recipe wrap-up and conclusion

    To wrap it up, these Keto Stuffed Mushrooms make the ideal healthy appetizer for any event. Combining the savory goodness of feta cheese, zesty antipasto, and perfectly grilled mushrooms, they're a guaranteed crowd-pleaser for all low-carb and keto enthusiasts.

      It is hilarious you brought up the olive theory from How I met your mother! The theory holds good in my life as well.
