Part of our Holiday Appetizers collection.
Start with cremini or button mushrooms, cream cheese, parmesan, garlic, breadcrumbs and fresh herbs. From there, each idea below is a simple swap or add-in — mix and match to suit your taste and what's in your kitchen.
Exact quantities are in the recipe card below.
Tender button mushrooms filled with garlicky, herb-flecked Boursin cheese and a crisp golden breadcrumb top, baked until bubbling and irresistible.
Preheat the oven to 375 F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Gently wipe the mushrooms clean with a damp paper towel. Twist out the stems and set the caps aside. Finely chop the stems and reserve about 1/2 cup (discard any dried or woody ends).
Heat 1 tbsp of the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped mushroom stems and cook, stirring, for 3 to 4 minutes until softened and most of the liquid has evaporated. Add the minced garlic and cook 30 seconds more until fragrant, then remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
In a medium bowl, stir together the softened Boursin, cream cheese, 1/4 cup of the Parmesan, the parsley, salt, and pepper until smooth. Fold in the cooked stems and garlic until evenly combined.
Brush or toss the mushroom caps with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, then arrange them hollow-side up on the baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
Spoon or pipe the cheese filling into each cap, mounding it slightly above the rim. Use about 1 heaping teaspoon per mushroom.
In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs, the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan, and the melted butter until the crumbs are evenly moistened. Sprinkle a little over the top of each filled mushroom.
Bake on the center rack for 18 to 22 minutes, until the mushrooms are tender, the filling is hot and bubbling, and the breadcrumb topping is golden brown.
Let the mushrooms rest for 5 minutes (they release hot liquid straight from the oven). Sprinkle with extra fresh parsley and serve warm.

Cremini caps are filled with Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs, a little parmesan, and toasted breadcrumbs, then baked until golden and bubbling. This is the version to make when you want maximum flavor with minimal effort. For extra crunch, broil them for the last two minutes and finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
Crispy chopped bacon folded into the creamy garlic-herb cheese gives these caps a smoky, savory punch that disappears fast at any party. The rendered bacon fat adds richness without needing extra butter. Save a pinch of the crumbles to scatter on top so guests can see the bacon before they bite.
Wilted spinach squeezed dry and stirred into Boursin makes a lush, green-flecked filling that tastes like a lightened spinach dip. It is a great way to sneak a vegetable into an indulgent bite. Add a squeeze of lemon to the spinach to keep the flavor bright against the rich cheese.
Browned Italian sausage mixed with garlic-herb Boursin turns these mushrooms into a hearty, almost meal-worthy appetizer. The fennel and pepper in the sausage play beautifully against the creamy herb cheese. Use hot sausage if your crowd likes a little heat, or sweet sausage for a mellower bite.
Sweet lump crab meat folded gently into Boursin creates an elegant, seafood-forward stuffing perfect for holidays and celebrations. The garlic and herbs season the crab without overpowering its delicate flavor. Top with a light dusting of Old Bay or a squeeze of lemon just before serving.
Chopped sun-dried tomatoes and fresh basil stirred into Boursin give these caps a bright, Mediterranean flavor with a pop of color. The tomatoes add a tangy chew that balances the creamy cheese. Use a splash of the oil from the tomato jar in the filling for even deeper flavor.
This crowd-pleaser combines browned sausage, wilted spinach, and garlic-herb Boursin for a filling that is both hearty and fresh. It hits every note: savory, creamy, and just a little green. Assemble them a few hours ahead and bake right before guests arrive so they come out hot and gooey.
Boursin gets amplified with sharp cheddar and mozzarella for an ultra-melty, cheese-lover's stuffed mushroom. The stretch of the mozzarella and bite of the cheddar make these irresistible straight from the oven. Let them rest two minutes after baking so the molten centers set just enough to hold together.
Using the Boursin Shallot & Chive variety, these caps get a gentle onion sweetness that pairs with cracked black pepper for a grown-up flavor. It is a refined option for a wine-and-cheese gathering. Finish with a light drizzle of good olive oil and a few extra chives for a polished look.
A generous cap of buttered panko over the garlic-herb filling bakes into a shatteringly crisp golden lid. The contrast between the crunchy top and creamy center is what makes these so addictive. Toss the panko with a little melted butter and parmesan before topping for the crispiest, most golden crust.
Slow-cooked caramelized onions folded into Boursin bring a deep, jammy sweetness that turns a simple cap into something special. The sweetness of the onions balances the savory garlic-herb cheese beautifully. Make the onions ahead of time, since they need patience, and the filling comes together in minutes.
Each Boursin-filled cap is wrapped in a thin ribbon of prosciutto that crisps in the oven into a salty, savory shell. It is an easy way to make these feel restaurant-worthy for guests. Roast them on a rack so the prosciutto crisps all the way around instead of steaming underneath.
A swirl of buffalo hot sauce into the creamy Boursin gives these caps a tangy, spicy kick reminiscent of buffalo chicken dip. They are the perfect game-day bite for a spice-loving crowd. Crumble a little blue cheese on top and serve with celery sticks alongside to complete the buffalo experience.
Large portobello caps stuffed with Boursin and roasted vegetables make a substantial, knife-and-fork appetizer or a light meatless main. The big caps mean more room for filling and a satisfying, meaty texture. Scrape out the dark gills first so the mushrooms roast without turning watery.
Basil pesto swirled into Boursin and topped with toasted pine nuts gives these caps a nutty, herbaceous depth that feels fresh and vibrant. The pine nuts add a delicate crunch against the creamy filling. Toast the pine nuts in a dry pan just until golden, watching closely since they turn quickly.
