How to Prep the Mushrooms

Can I Freeze Keto Stuffed Mushrooms?

You’ll be able to easily freeze these keto stuffed mushrooms, but there’s one small catch: you’ll want to freeze them before you bake them.

The reason for this is once you bake the mushrooms and freeze them, they’re going to end up losing most of their texture when you thaw them out, leaving you with one messy meal indeed.

If you’re planning on freezing the mushrooms, you can go ahead and do all of the prep work required to make the recipe and then flash freeze them on a baking sheet. You can then transfer the mushrooms into an airtight container and keep them in the freezer for up to 3 months.
