Rolled Toasted Mushroom Appetizer is something that I don’t think you’ve seen before. Roll the bread flat first, spread with filling , roll up and bake. Delicious!
Mushroom Appetizers Fill the Bill
Appetizers are a staple in our house. They are fun to make and usually very simple.
You can share three of four recipes together and have a well rounded meal with lots of flavor coming from every direction.
Easy to pick up and easy to eat is a little dangerous but I live for danger. Bring it on!
You can never have too many mushroom appetizer recipes if you ask me. They’re very much like cauliflower in the fact that the possibilities seem endless.
On this blog alone there is Mushroom Bruschetta Crostini, Slow Cooker Balsamic Glazed Mushrooms and Holiday Stuffed Mushrooms just to name a very few. I bet you have other favorite recipes too.
Just a quick peek.
You actually flatten the bread slices thin with a rolling pin. Then they roll up so easily and hold their shape.
If you’re going to serve it to family and friends then you may as well print out a few copies of the recipe too because people will be asking for it.
Tips For Making Rolled Toasted Mushroom Appetizers
There is a video above that helps you visualize how to make these rolls but I have a couple more hints for you.
When not filming I take more time and actually cut very close to the crust. Even if the bread has a dome at the top I even cup around that.
All I do is to start rolling at the dome spot so that the final edge of the roll is straight.
I really roll thin and even. Push the rolling pin off the edge of the bread and get the slices evenly flat.
Don’t roll too tight so the filling doesn’t come out the edge. Firm but not tight. You don’t need much filling anyway to make these delicious.
Don’t forget to cut them in half before rolling in dairy free butter. It’s much easier to handle and less messy.
I melt the dairy free butter in a dinner plate in the microwave. Then I pick up the roll and lay it at one edge of the plate.
Then I roll it straight through butter. Just once and then lay it seam side down on the baking sheet.
Bake and try not to eat too many.

The are so good. Always lots of compliments. Freeze them before rolling in dairy free butter. You actually roll them so I melt the butter on a dinner plate that has a bit of an edge and roll right through. Don’t soak just roll.
Karen says
Hi I’d love to know how these turned out. Did you brush with the melted butter before freezing or when you were ready to cook?
Linda says
I’m having company this weekend. This is the perfect snack to serve. I’m going to make them tomorrow and freeze. I’ll check back in to let everyone know how they turn out. They look delish!

I love mushrooms, and this is a unique way to use them!
Ben Myhre says
What an interesting appetizer. I have a problem with them, though. The bite sizes just tells my brain that I can keep on eating them and before you know it, I have eaten all of them.
Lisa Huff says
So easy, love that! Perfect for New Year’s Eve parties!
Andrea @ Cooking with Mamma C says
I love mushrooms and mushroom appetizers! What a clever idea to flatten and roll up the bread. Lots of possibilities!
Ginny McMeans says
Any unsweetened creamer would work. It would say dairy-free or non-dairy or vegan on the packaging if it was dairy free. Use any vegan creamer that you would use in your coffee, if you drink it.

What is dairy free creamer and what could I substitute it for here in Australia??
