If you love stuffed mushrooms with breadcrumbs and stuffed artichokes, these huge breadcrumb-yummy stuffed portobellos will be a new favorite and so much easier to make.

Our Italian Stuffed Artichokes are similar stuffing ingredients with the exception that these mushrooms are baked instead of boiled and swimming in a buttery wine sauce.

The crispy-topped breadcrumb stuffing is always my favorite part of stuffed artichokes and now this filling in mushrooms is over-the-top delicious.

The hardest part is waiting for them to cool before we dig in to eat them because the smell of them baking is so mouth-watering.

If you love mushrooms as much as we do you just may be addicted to these like we are plus there are so many other filling suggestions below for these stuffed mushrooms in this post below for you to try!

Another bonus is how to cook these mushrooms, so we even include an easy Stuffed Lasagna Style Portobello that is off the charts delicious!

If you're a huge mushroom fan like we are you may also like to try our Shrimp Stuffed Mushrooms or our Portobello Fries both amazing!

We have cleaning methods to show you below just how easy these are in comparison to cutting the leaves off the artichokes and stuffing them (but of course we still love our artichokes stuffed also but these are a great alternative).

Cleaning Portobello Mushrooms

Some folks say not to wash them because of moisture content, I rinse them in water and use a paper towel to clean any residue off (I do not like bugs, dirt so sometimes if they are terribly dirty I will soak them in hot water regardless but you can do your own methods on what you are comfortable eating)
Holding a mushroom in one hand, use a spoon to gently scrape the gills from the underside of the portobello mushroom cap; discard the gills
I use my DIY seasoning salt (just pick your favorite kind of seasoning or use my Italian blends)
Always season the mushrooms caps before they bake in the oven lightly you can add more later if they aren't salty enough for your taste buds
The filling you're using whether you combine vegetables, spinach leaves, or sliced pepperoni needs to be chopped into small pieces so it fits nicely in the cavity.

Cooking Methods

Bake: at 400 degrees for 25 minutes or until the breadcrumbs are browned and crispy
Air Fried: preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees. Spray the basket with cooking oil spray. Fill and add the mushrooms to the basket. Air fry for 8 minutes per mushroom or until the breadcrumbs are browned
Grilled: Preheat the grill to 350 degrees. Spray the grates. Stuffed the mushrooms. Place them directly on the grill, gill side up (stuffing showing) for 10 to 12 minutes. I spoon the breadcrumbs in, top with brown, cover the lid then grill a few more minutes until crispy on top.
