Spinach and Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms Recipe

Democracy Dies in Darknessclock30 minscourseAppetizerStart CookingComment on this storyAdd to your saved recipes

In these two-bite stuffed mushrooms, a luxurious garlic-and-herbed spinach filling is mounded into mushroom caps and sprinkled with Parmesan. They are then baked until the mushrooms are nearly bursting with juiciness and the filling is warm throughout and beautifully browned on top. An enticing, crowd-pleasing nibble, these stuffed mushrooms will shatter any notions that vegetables can’t be buzz-worthy party fare.

Refrigerate for up to 3 days. Serve at room temperature or reheat on a rimmed baking sheet in a 350-degree oven until warmed through.

  • Step 1

    Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees.

  • Step 2

    In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the oil until shimmering. Add the shallot or onion and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 1 minute. Add the spinach, a few handfuls at a time, and cook, stirring until all the spinach is wilted down, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes and remove from the heat. Stir in the Gournay cheese and pepper until well-combined. You should have about 1 cup of filling.

  • Step 3

    Fill each mushroom cap generously with the spinach-cheese mixture (each cap should get about 1 tablespoon), piling the filling in a high mound. Place the mushrooms onto a large, rimmed baking sheet and sprinkle each with a little Parmesan cheese. Roast for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the cheese on top is nicely browned.

  • Step 4

    Serve warm or at room temperature.
