Football Food: Vegan Stuffed Mushrooms
Okay… before you click off my screen, just hear me out. I know the words “Vegan” & “Football” don’t exactly mesh together, but trust me on this. Stuffed mushrooms are a classic appetizer. We have been eating them for years, and I myself, have always been a huge fan.
We hosted a little dinner party a couple weeks ago and Emily from EMR designs brought these over to my house. I was hooked at first bite. The women, of course, loved them, but every meat obsessed man were popping them in there mouth like candy. My husband had no idea they were vegan until I told him the next day.
If you’re not vegan and have no desire to make these vegan, you can easily sub the ingredients for the non-vegan version and they will taste exactly the same. Personally, I happen to think the vegan version taste better 😉
I have never made my own stuffed mushrooms until now, and I can not see myself ever veering from this recipe. It’s a hit. Period. I made them for friends for Sunday football and they LOVED them. The word vegan was never mentioned. Trust me on this. These. Are. Awesome. Make them… please?
Thanks Emily for the inspiration!
