We didn’t realize how much we love mushrooms until we were adults. Something about the texture of cooked mushrooms put us off as kids but now that we’ve rediscovered them, we simply can’t get enough of them! Lately, we’ve been pouring over pages and pages of mushroom recipes online like we’re making up for lost time in all those years we were convinced we didn’t like them.
Just in case you love mushrooms just as much as we do, if not more, here are 15 of the best recipes and mushroom cooking tutorials we’ve come across in our search so far!
1. Mushroom havarti turnovers
Any kind of dough based snack filled with cheese is already a guaranteed win in our house but, because we’re lucky that our kids have always loved mushrooms just as much as we do now, these particular mushroom havarti turnovers were an especially big hit! See how they’re made on Half Baked Harvest.
2. Parsnip, mushroom, and leek gratin
Sometime about gratin just suits fall time so well in our minds. It’s the kind of creamy meal option that makes you feel warm from the inside out. We’re sure you can imagine, then, just how pleased we were to come across this delicious parsnip, mushroom, and leak gratin recipe on The Ktchn!
