Ingredients
- Olive oil spray
- 1 ½ pounds baby bella mushrooms (or larger white mushrooms for stuffing)
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 10 ounces frozen chopped spinach (thawed and excess liquid squeezed out)
- 4 ounces cream cheese (1/2 block )
- ½ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese (plus 2 tablespoons for topping)
- 1 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup chopped scallions (plus extra (optional) green for garnish)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- ¼ cup light sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Italian seasoned breadcrumbs (or gluten-free panko)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F. Spray 2 sheet pans with oil and set aside.
- Gently remove the stems from the mushrooms and place stem-side down on the sheet pan.
- Spray with olive oil and sprinkle with 2 pinches of salt and pepper, to taste.
- Finely chop stems and place them in a large mixing bowl.
- To the large bowl, add the spinach, cream cheese, ½ cup parmesan cheese, mozzarella, scallions, garlic, sour cream, ¼ teaspoon salt and pepper to taste. Mix with a fork to thoroughly combine.
- Flip mushrooms stem-side up and stuff each mushroom with about 1 tablespoon filling, depending on the mushroom size, pressing mixture into the cavity of the mushroom and a small mound on top.
- In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and remaining 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese.
- Top each stuffed mushroom with a sprinkle of breadcrumb mixture, gently spray tops with olive oil and bake for 25-30 minutes, rotating pans halfway through cooking to allow for even browning.
- Allow to cool slightly and with a spatula, transfer to serving platter to serve warm or at room temperature.
