Cajun Spiced Stuffed Mushrooms
Today, I’m sharing a super easy appetizer bursting with flavor!
Stuffed mushrooms are definitely one of my go-to appetizers because I love that the filling can usually be made a day or two in advance.
With these guys, you can control the heat to make them as mild or spicy as you like; it’s all in the heat of your peppers and seasoning.
Want to stretch the filling a bit beyond six mushrooms? Stir in a tablespoon or two breadcrumbs and/or add a small handful of shredded vegan cheddar.
Enjoy!

Hi – what happens if I don’t use vegan cream cheese?

Your stuffed mushrooms will be vegetarian instead of vegan. I use vegan cream cheese but dairy-based cream cheese will work just as well. Happy New Year!
