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.
