Mushrooms stuffed with ham
Mushrooms stuffed with ham, parmesan and panko is an idea for a delicious appetizer that can be served both warm and cold. To prepare stuffed mushrooms, you need pieces with large caps, so portobello mushrooms work best in this dish. I do not peel the mushrooms, I remove the stems, chop them finely and fry them with garlic and olive oil. After frying, I combine them with crispy panko, intense parmesan and ham. I season the stuffing with freshly chopped parsley, which gives the stuffing a herbal aroma.
This dish is a meat dish due to the ham used in the stuffing, so it should appeal to all carnivores. However, if you prefer a meatless version of stuffed mushrooms, here are some suggestions.
Every time I make stuffed mushrooms, they are very popular among my guests, whether I serve the vegetarian or the meaty version. What also matters to me is the time I have to put into preparing my appetizers and snacks. In the case of stuffed mushrooms, it is usually short, which is why stuffed mushrooms are on the list of dishes that I often settle on for special events. When warm, they are a great appetizer, and served cold they are delicious as a snack on a buffet table. I encourage you to try the recipe for mushrooms stuffed with ham and enjoy.

Good to know when making mushrooms stuffed with ham.
I didn’t peel the mushrooms, I only cleaned them with a damp paper towel.
You can use any type of ham in this dish. In my opinion, smoked pork ham works best, but you can also use cooked ham. It does not necessarily have to be pork ham, for example, it can be poultry ham.
The panko can optionally be replaced with breadcrumbs.
