Three Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms (Low Carb, Keto, GAPS, Primal)
What I love about these stuffed mushrooms is that they are naturally low carb, keto, and GAPS compliant. Most recipes add a sprinkle of breadcrumbs just before baking but I find that that's not necessary.
You may use granulated parmesan cheese on top if you still want a topping but I assure you these stuffed mushrooms do not lack flavor.
Helpful tips to make these Three Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms
- Don't submerge the mushrooms in water. They are extremely absorbent and act like a sponge if submerged in water. Simply take a damp paper towel and wipe the mushrooms clean. It's also best to use organic mushrooms for this reason.
- This recipe can easily be adapted to your favorite cheeses. Instead of Swiss cheese, you can use cheddar or monterey or whatever you wish. You want to try to have a blend of different textures (i.e. hard and soft cheeses).
- If 6 garlic cloves seems too many, feel free to reduce that amount to your liking.
- Salt is added in the recipe card but that's because mushrooms love salt. If between all the cheeses, you find that the mixture is plenty salty, just omit the additional salt.
- If you so desire, add some bacon bits to the cheese mixture. I didn't have any on hand but I bet that would impart amazing flavor and texture.

Are these mushrooms ok cold? Have a wedding coming up that I want to make stuffed mushrooms for but they want the food there well in advance, so they will end up being cold by the time they are eaten. So I want to make sure they are still edible. Thanks.
Anya says
Yes Michele. They are absolutely fine to eat cold. 🙂
Michele says
Thank you.
Dee says
Absolutely delicious. Very easy to make. I used cheddar instead of Swiss because that is what I had in the fridge. A definite make again.
Lacy says

Vanessa says
Thanks for sharing! How far ahead of time can I make them?
Anya says
You're safe if you make them in the morning and bake them in the evening. I probably wouldn't make them too far ahead since mushrooms release moisture.
Barbara Thatcher says
Thank You, this is a very adaptable recipe. Of course when I have mushrooms going south I tried to stay close to your list. Needless to say they were delish!
