Spinach stuffed mushrooms, flavor-packed mushrooms filled with flavor from double cheese, spinach, and artichoke. A low-fat appetizer that is great for family parties and holidays.
Clean 10 ounces white mushrooms, including the stems, by wiping them clean with a paper towel.
Remove the stems from the mushrooms and dice them into small pieces, set aside.
In a large skillet, over medium heat, melt 1 teaspoon unsalted butter add the diced mushroom stems, and saute about 4 minutes to soften the mushrooms.
Add in 3 cups baby spinach or 10-ounces frozen spinach and 2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced, stir to wilt the spinach and blend in the garlic flavor, about 1 more minute.
To the pan, stir in ½ cup marinated artichoke hearts, diced, ½ cup mozzarella cheese , 2 ounce cream cheese, 3 Tablespoons plain panko bread crumbs, ½ teaspoon kosher salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper diced artichokes, cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, Panko breadcrumbs, salt, and black pepper. Taste for seasoning.
Taste the stuffing mixture, if needed, adjust seasoning. Set aside.
In a small mixing bowl, add 1 teaspoon olive oil, dip a pastry brush into the oil, coat the mushroom caps lightly with the olive oil. Then place the mushrooms on the prepared baking tray.
Use a teaspoon to fill each mushroom cap with the filing. Press filling inside the cavity of the mushroom. Usually, about 2 teaspoons of the filling will fill the mushroom and place the stuffed mushroom on the baking tray.
When all mushrooms are filled, place the baking tray in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes until mushrooms are golden brown and cheese is melted.
Serve and enjoy.
