These mouth popping-ly delicious treats are simply mushrooms stuffed with cheese and jalapenos that are coated in breadcrumbs and fried until golden brown, crispy and oh so good! If they weren’t already irresistibly good I took things one step further and doused them in buffalo hot sauce a la buffalo chicken wings!

Cheesy Buffalo Mushroom Poppers
Crispy fried mushrooms stuffed with cheese and jalapenos served smothered in buffalo hot sauce!
ingredients
- 1 pound button or cremini mushrooms, stems removed and reserved
- 3 tablespoons cream cheese, room temperature
- 2 tablespoons cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 tablespoon jalapeno, finely diced
- 2 cups panko breadcrumbs or breadcrumbs (gluten-free for gluten-free)

- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- buffalo hot sauce to taste
- ranch or blue cheese dressing to taste
directions
- Chop the mushroom stems, mix with the cheeses and jalapeno and stuff the mixture into the mushroom caps rounding the filling off so that it and the mushroom form a complete and smooth ball (about 1 teaspoon per mushroom).

One question…why are 95% of your comments from people who have actually never made the recipes, just those suggesting how good they look?
Before committing to a recipe, I like to know the experiences of those who have really made it. The comments on your site are useless in that regard.
Can these be made in advance and the just reheated.
These are best/crispiest when freshly made.
