Create this tasty bite easily with chestnut mushrooms and whipped feta cheese. Perfect for any celebration throughout the year.
What is Whipped Feta?
Whipped feta has recently become a trend, possibly started on TikTok. Regardless of its origin, it was the perfect filling for the stuffed mushroom recipe I wanted to try.
About the Mushrooms
I used chestnut mushrooms for this dish, but regular mushrooms will work too. I personally find chestnut mushrooms to be more flavorful and sturdy, making them ideal for this recipe.
Sauté the mushrooms beforehand in a pan with oil and butter to remove excess moisture. Drain them upside-down on a paper towel. You can reheat them in the oven right before serving to ensure they are warm and moisture-free.
Whipping the Feta
For whipping the feta, crumble an entire block into a food processor. Add yogurt and spices, then blend until smooth. I forgot the yogurt once and used milk instead; it works but results in a thinner texture. Note that feta is quite salty, so no additional salt is needed in this recipe or on the mushrooms.
You can prepare the stuffed mushrooms in advance and keep them refrigerated. Before serving, you can either serve them cold or warm them up in the oven at 100°C. If reheating, cover with aluminum foil to prevent the feta from drying out.
