Ingredients
- 24 large white or cremini mushrooms stems removed
- 200 grams fresh spinach chopped
- 200 grams canned or jarred artichoke hearts drained and chopped
- 120 grams cream cheese softened
- 100 grams shredded mozzarella cheese
- 50 grams grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon dried Italian herbs optional
Instructions
Preheat the Oven
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Prepare the Mushrooms
- Clean mushrooms with a damp paper towel. Remove stems carefully and set caps aside for filling.
Chop the Stems
- Finely chop mushroom stems. They will be added to the spinach-artichoke filling for extra flavor.
Cook the Spinach
- Heat olive oil in a skillet. Add garlic and chopped spinach. Cook until spinach is wilted, about 2–3 minutes.
Add Artichokes
- Stir in chopped artichokes. Cook for 1–2 minutes to soften. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian herbs.
Prepare the Cheese Mixture
- In a bowl, combine cream cheese, mozzarella, and Parmesan. Mix until creamy and smooth.
Mix Vegetables with Cheese
- Add cooked spinach and artichokes to the cheese mixture. Stir until well combined and uniform.
Stuff the Mushrooms
- Spoon filling into mushroom caps. Press gently to fill each mushroom evenly without overflowing.
Bake the Mushrooms
- Place stuffed mushrooms on baking sheet. Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until cheese is melted and golden.
Cool and Serve
- Let mushrooms cool for 5 minutes. Serve warm as an appetizer or side dish for any meal.
Notes
- Use baby bella mushrooms for a richer, earthy flavor.
- Add cooked bacon bits to the filling for extra taste.
- Substitute mozzarella with provolone for a slightly tangy flavor.
- Use frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry, if fresh is unavailable.
- Sprinkle breadcrumbs on top for a crunchy texture.
- Add a pinch of nutmeg to the filling for extra warmth.
- Use vegan cream cheese and cheese for a dairy-free version.
