Ingredients
Scale
- 12 large white or cremini mushrooms
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small shallot, finely minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chopped spinach
- 1/2 cup cooked quinoa or breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
- Gently clean the mushrooms. Remove the stems and finely chop the stems. Set the mushroom caps aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped mushroom stems and the minced shallot. Cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for one minute until fragrant. Remove the skillet from the heat.
- In a medium bowl, combine the cooked stem mixture, chopped spinach, quinoa or breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese (if using), cream cheese, and fresh parsley.
- Mix all the filling ingredients well until fully combined. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Spoon the veggie mixture evenly into the hollowed mushroom caps, mounding it slightly on top.
- Place the stuffed mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the tops are lightly golden brown.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious bites!
Notes
- For a vegan option, skip the Parmesan and use a dairy-free cream cheese substitute.
- If you prefer a richer flavor, add 1/4 cup of finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the filling mixture.
- Wipe the mushrooms clean; avoid washing them under running water as they absorb moisture easily.
- You can prepare the filling a day ahead and store it covered in the refrigerator.
