30 minRaw stuffed mushroom caps packed with a savory cream cheese and deviled ham filling, spiked with chopped pimento olives and a pinch of dry mustard. No oven required.
The filling pipes cleanly into fresh mushroom caps and holds its shape beautifully after a few hours in the fridge, which is exactly why this is a host’s best friend. Make it the night before, cover the platter, and your party appetizer is done before the guests even arrive.
Kitchen Tips
- Use the freshest mushrooms you can find. Older mushrooms release moisture and the caps get slippery - not ideal for a finger food.
- Softened cream cheese is key. Cold cream cheese tears the mushroom caps when you try to pipe or spoon it in.
- A piping bag fitted with a star tip makes these look far more impressive than they have any right to for a 30-minute recipe.
