    Greek stuffed mushrooms with halloumi are the perfect low-carb and keto appetizer, snack, or meal.

    We all know the Mediterranean lifestyle is an incredibly healthy way to live, so enjoy these drizzled with extra virgin olive oil and rejoice in the full fat life!

    They're low-carb, gluten-free, keto friendly, and can be cooked in the oven, BBQ, or air fryer.

    These delicious low carb Greek stuffed mushrooms can be made in advance and served hot or cold. You can even prepare and cook the lamb ahead of time, then just reheat it on the barbecue. Vary which cheese you use such as halloumi, feta, or your family favorite.

    Are mushrooms keto?

    Mushrooms are low in net carbs, high in fiber and so can be enjoyed on a low-carb diet or keto diet and for anyone who is counting the carbs.

    Mushroom nutrition per 100g: 2.3 g net carbs, 3.1 g protein, 0.3g fat, 22 calories

    Nutritional values from cronometer.com

    Ingredients

    You only need a few simple healthy ingredients to make low carb Greek stuffed mushroom recipe.

    • Garlic - fresh crushed is preferred but garlic powder or granules will also work in this recipe.
    • Ground/mince lamb - this is authentic for a Mediterannean dish, however you could use ground pork, chicken or turkey.
    • Basil - use fresh basil and tear into tiny pieces. I also use fresh basil leaves to garnish and serve.
    • Mushrooms - regular button mushrooms have been used in the video, however, large flat portobello mushrooms also work beautifully. The larger the mushroom, the more lamb stuffing they can accommodate.
    • Seasoning - add salt and pepper to taste. You might also enjoy other herbs and spices such as lemon pepper, chili flakes, or onion salt.

    Toppings

    • Fresh basil - whole or pieces.
    • Halloumi - cut into squares large enough to cover the mushroom stuffing.
    • Sundried tomatoes - cut into quarters or halves then placed under the halloumi.

    Instructions

    Greek stuffed mushrooms topped with sliced feta and basil leaves

    Oven/BBQ

    Place the stuffed mushrooms into an oiled baking dish or sheet pan. Place into a preheated oven, or on the barbecue with the hood closed, for 10 minutes until the mushrooms are cooked and the halloumi has warmed.

    Air fryer

    To cook stuffed mushrooms in the air fryer, first oil the wire rack of your air fryer basket. Lower each stuffed mushroom onto the wire rack. Ensure there is space between each mushroom and the side of the basket.

    1. Preheat to 180C/350F.
    2. Cook for 10 minutes, depending on the size of your air fryer and the size of your mushrooms.

    Serving

    These low-carb Greek stuffed mushrooms can be served as a starter, light lunch, or made into a dinner with a Greek salad, avocado, and olives.

    I like to serve stuffed mushrooms with baked eggplant, cauliflower couscous or lamb kebabs. They are also the perfect side dish for chicken or beef.

    If you are feeling inspired to cook all things Greek, take a look at my Low Carb Moussaka too. Serve any of these with a huge Greek salad. Go to town with leafy greens, cheeses, olives, feta, tomatoes, spring onions, cucumbers .... incredibly beautiful, colorful, and nutritious.

    Low carb real food is so varied and nutritious.

    • 2 cloves garlic minced crushed
    • 300 g (11 oz) ground/minced lamb
    • handful fresh basil torn into pieces
    • 12 mushrooms
    • salt and pepper to taste

    Toppings

    • leaves fresh basil
    • 12 slices halloumi
    • 6 sundried tomatoes cut half

    Instructions

    Greek Stuffed Mushrooms

    • Heat some oil in the frying pan, and cook gently the garlic for only 1 minute.
    • Add the lamb and stir until cooked throughout.
    • Stir through the fresh torn basil, salt and pepper.
    • Prepare the mushrooms by washing or peeling, whichever you prefer.

    Topping

    • Place a sundried tomato on each mushroom.
    • Divide the lamb mixture evenly between the mushrooms. Place on an oiled baking dish.

    Notes

    * Sundried tomatoes must be soft before cooking. Either buy them soaked in oil, or soak the dried ones to soften beforehand. 
    * To lower the carbs further, just add a small piece of sun-dried tomato.

      What would be a good aged substitution for the halloumi? My husband has issues with dairy, and cannot eat "fresh" cheeses.

        I would cook them at 180C/350F for 15 minutes or so. It all depends on the size of mushrooms used because the variety and size of mushrooms vary considerably.

      So... Say I wanted to be meat-free (never mind why!), what would be a good soy-free substitute for the meat?

        Great question. I don't recommend soy products (too much is pointing to soy being a hormone disruptor), but instead using some nuts such as walnuts, pecan, and almonds would be incredible. A bit like a vegetarian nut roast idea with savoury herbs and spices.

          Fantastic! I agree about soy. I'm hearing soy & peanuts are potential thyroid inhibitors. Thank you for the nut suggestion!

          somewhere online or on Pinterest is a recipe for Faux Falafels..uses cauliflower and almond meal...plus all the warm spices that are in falafel....would be a great meatless filling for these mushrooms.

      I'd make these now but my darn oven has been broken for a week. I don't think the appliance store understands my situation here... 🙂 These look great and I will make these.
