Report
Microwave-steaming your mushrooms before baking is the key to perfectly cooked Keto Chorizo Stuffed Mushrooms.
Share:
Ingredients
- 1 ounce package stuffing mushrooms
- ½ pound chorizo good quality
- 1 ounce package cream cheese room temperature
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese grate it!
- ¼ cup crushed salted and roasted pecans
- 1-2 cloves garlic, minced (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Cook the chorizo and garlic (optional) in a pan over medium heat, for 5-7 minutes, until fully cooked. Strain the chorizo over paper towels to remove the excess grease. Set aside.
- Remove the stems from each mushroom and wipe any dirt away with a paper towel. Separate mushrooms into two groups, by size. This will ensure that the mushrooms get the proper amount of steaming time in the microwave before baking.
- Arrange the smaller mushrooms on a plate, cap side down (gill side up), and cover with three layers of damp paper towels. Microwave for 2 minutes. Remove and place upside down to let any excess water drain off.
- Arrange the large mushrooms on a plate, cap side down (gill side up), and cover with three layers of damp paper towels. Microwave for 3 minutes. Remove and place upside down to let any excess water drain off.
- Add cream cheese and pecans to a bowl and mix until well combined. Add the strained chorizo and mix until well combined.
- Take a bit of the cream cheese mixture and add it to each mushroom cap. I like to add a generous amount and stuff each mushroom by hand.
- Bake for 10 minutes, middle rack of oven.
- Remove from oven. Increase oven temperature to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Add a pinch of shredded cheese to each stuffed mushroom.
- Put back in the oven on the top rack for 3-4 minutes, until cheese has just melted. Let cool for 2 minutes.

Notes
- If you happen to have any leftover cream cheese chorizo mixture, spread it on a cracker or tortilla chip as a quick snack while you wait for the stuffed mushrooms to be done.
