Last week I was looking for a quick little appetizer to make for the hubby and I before we enjoyed our anniversary dinner. I’ve been looking through some of my cookbooks lately and I’ve found myself repeatedly being drawn to recipes with goat cheese. So….last time we were at the grocery store I picked some up.
Then I spotted some mini portobello mushrooms that were just dying to be stuffed. When I got home, I whipped up what turned out to be one of the easiest, most delicious appetizers I’ve ever made.
Goat Cheese & Cranberry Stuffed Mushrooms
Prep Time: 5 min
Cook Time: 20 min
Keywords: bake appetizer healthy vegetarian mushroom goat cheese cranberry
Ingredients (Serves 2)
- 6-8 mini portobello mushrooms
- 1 oz soft goat cheese
- 2 Tbsp Craisins
- black pepper
Instructions
Remove the stems from the mushrooms and wipe clean.
In a small bowl, mix the goat cheese and craisins together.
Divide the mixture among the mushrooms and place them on a baking sheet.
Top with black pepper and bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or until the mushrooms soften slightly and the cheese in golden brown.
Enjoy!

I just discovered stuffed mushrooms (the healthier version) last winter — I am so excited to make them for the holidays this year — these would be perfect!!
yay! i love how many different things you can stuff them with!
Yum! I made stuffed mushrooms for the first time last year and they were awesome. PS. I love goat cheese. Double awesome.
they’re one of my go-to party appetizers!
Looks fabulous! I’ll have to remember this when I can eat dairy again. 😉
[Or perhaps a tofu ricotta would work in there…???]
i could see that working!
What a cute appetizer! Goat cheese is JUST amazing!
This looks super delicious!
Oh my, these look delicious! Mushrooms stuffed with any type of cheese is really my thing! I never would have thought of cranberries…

haha, fair enough….i’m hit or miss with my enjoyment of mushrooms but these passed the test 🙂
Oh wow! They look so yummy. Definitely on my list to cook!!
awesome! let me know how you like them 🙂
Mushrooms + goat cheese = two of my favorite things in the whole wide world. LOVE this recipe!!! 🙂
I have never really had stuffed mushrooms, so not sure if I would like it, but this recipe looks interesting. I might have to break down and try it. By the way, I saw one of your recipes in my newsletter from The Greener Grocer today. It was for your Sweet Potato Pork Bowl.
yum! i’m not a fan of goat cheese but i might try this with something else… cause mushrooms are fantastic!
TOTALLY MAKING THESE!!!!!!! it has three of my fav ingredients ever! =) genius!
In the first picture there is a third ingredient that is not listed in the recipe. Do you remember what it is?
chopped garlic i think!
