Enter the number of servings you plan to serve. For 10 servings, you need 30 mushrooms and 250 grams of filling. For 20 servings, you need 60 mushrooms and 500 grams of filling. For stuffed mushrooms for a crowd of 40, you need 120 mushrooms and 1000 grams of filling, which is best baked as several trays, not one crowded tray, so the caps roast instead of steaming.

Stuffed mushrooms appetizer servings depend on the rest of the menu. As one bite among many finger foods, plan 3 mushrooms per person, which matches stuffed mushrooms finger food servings guidance of 4 to 6 pieces per guest across all finger foods. As the only appetizer, plan 4 per person. As a main course, serve 1 large portobello stuffed mushroom per person with a salad, because a portobello stuffed mushroom servings portion is a full meal.
