Best 6 Savory Mushroom Spread Recipes

SWEET AND SAVORY STUFFED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• For the mushrooms: If your mushroom caps are very rounded, trim a very thin slice from the top of the caps to help them sit upright for baking. Toss the mushroom caps with the olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl.
• For the filling: Heat the butter over medium-high heat. Add the reserved mushroom stems and onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until just soft, 6 to 8 minutes. Scrape into another large bowl, season with 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and set aside to cool.
• Add the bacon, provolone, apricots and walnuts to the cooled mushroom stem mixture. Stir in the breadcrumbs until well moistened.
• Pack each mushroom with an equal amount of filling and transfer the filled mushrooms to a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is brown and crispy on top, about 15 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes before removing from the baking sheet.

SAVORY MUSHROOM DRESSING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Spread the bread cubes out on a baking sheet and toast in the oven until golden and crisp, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• Trim the dry part from the bottom of the cremini stem and quarter. Stem and quarter the shiitakes. Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter with the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms, shallots, garlic, and rosemary and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften and brown, about 25 minutes. Add an additional tablespoon of butter, if needed, to prevent sticking. Carefully add the Cognac (if working over gas, pull the skillet from the heat), and simmer until the liquid is slightly syrupy. Stir in the chicken broth and salt and bring to a simmer.
• Whisk the cream, eggs, and pepper, to taste, in a large bowl. Add the bread, mushroom mixture, and parsley and toss until the bread is moistened. Transfer the dressing to a buttered 1 1/2-quart baking dish. Bake, uncovered, until the dressing sets and the top browns, about 1 hour. Let dressing sit for 15 minutes before serving.
