Gluten-Free Stuffed Mushrooms Made Easy
Stuffed mushrooms are one of those appetizers that always disappear first at a party, and this Gluten-Free Stuffed Mushroom recipe is proof of why. White button mushroom caps get filled with a creamy garlic, bacon, and Parmesan filling, then topped with buttery, toasted gluten-free bread crumbs before baking.
The whole thing comes together in about 35 minutes total, and the mushrooms can be assembled a day or two ahead, which makes them one of our go-to appetizers for entertaining.
What makes this recipe special: toasting the Schär gluten-free bread crumbs in butter and garlic before they ever touch the mushrooms, so every bite has that crisp, savory crunch you’d expect from traditional bread crumbs.

Which Bread Crumbs to Use for Gluten-Free Stuffed Mushrooms
To get the same taste and texture as traditional bread crumbs without the gluten, we’re topping our mushrooms with Schär Gluten-Free Bread Crumbs. Schär is a natural food company dedicated to gluten-free bread and baked goods, so you never have to feel like you’re missing out.
Schär bread crumbs are: gluten-free, wheat-free, non-GMO, lactose-free, and preservative-free. They’re unseasoned, which makes them a great pantry staple you can flavor to taste for whatever you’re cooking.
What “Gluten-Free” Actually Means on a Label
Under FDA rules, anything labeled gluten-free must contain less than 20 parts per million of gluten, whether it’s naturally gluten-free or has been processed to remove it. That’s the standard to look for on the box before you buy. Learn more from the FDA.
Schär’s bread crumbs are unseasoned, so they take on the garlic and butter beautifully when toasted.

The Ingredients
Everything here is easy to find. Here’s what each one does and where to check on storage if you’re not sure yours is still good:
Mushrooms: We used white mushrooms, but baby bellas or creminis work well too and add great flavor. Look for caps about 2 inches wide so they stay appetizer-sized.
Schär Gluten-Free Bread Crumbs: These give the mushrooms a crisp topping that plays nicely against the creamy filling. See our guide on whether breadcrumbs go bad for how long an opened box lasts, or what to use instead of breadcrumbs if you run out mid-recipe.
Cream Cheese: Better-quality cream cheese makes a better-tasting filling. Let it come to room temperature so it mixes easily. It should always be kept in the fridge; see does cream cheese go bad fo
