These Spinach and Cheese Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms are a flavorful and satisfying vegetarian dish. The combination of ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses with fresh spinach creates a rich and creamy filling that pairs perfectly with the meaty Portobello mushrooms.


Ingredients

Units Scale

Mushrooms:

    • 2 large Portobello mushrooms
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Filling:

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the mushrooms: Remove the stems from the Portobello mushrooms and gently scrape out the gills. Brush the mushrooms with olive oil and season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Make the filling: In a skillet, melt butter and sauté spinach until wilted. In a bowl, combine spinach, ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, and red pepper flakes.
  4. Stuff the mushrooms: Divide the filling evenly between the mushrooms, pressing it down gently.
  5. Bake: Place the stuffed mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Serve: Serve the stuffed mushrooms hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • You can customize the filling by adding ingredients like sun-dried tomatoes, roasted red peppers, or cooked quinoa.
  • For a lower-fat option, use low-fat cheeses or substitute some of the cheese with Greek yogurt.
