These Ultimate Stuffed ‘Shrooms with a zesty Horseradish Dipping Sauce are a nod to the Houlihan’s classic but with a bit of a twist.
When I lived in Florida, there was a chain restaurant that had these amazing stuffed mushrooms – they were creamy, cheesy and just the best mushroom ever, served with this horseradish dipping sauce. Many an evening was spent there with friends laughing over cocktails and a plate of these stuffed mushrooms. However they were fried and while fried can be delicious, I wanted to whip up a version that was a homage to them with some of the same flavors but made a bit lighter.
These Ultimate Stuffed ‘Shrooms are baked – not fried – and are spicy with a touch of sweetness. The dipping sauce has the same horseradish bite but finishes with a mellow flavor.
Next time you want to make a stuffed mushroom, you will want to whip these up. And while you might be tempted to fry – resist. These Ultimate Stuffed ‘Shrooms are much better baked.
