Description
These creamy, cheesy stuffed mushrooms are inspired by the famous steakhouse appetizer—perfectly rich, buttery, and bite-sized.
Ingredients
16–20 large white mushrooms, stems removed and cleaned
2 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Optional: breadcrumbs and extra Parmesan for topping
Optional garnish: chopped parsley or a squeeze of lemon
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 1–2 minutes. Remove from heat.
In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, Parmesan, mozzarella, salt, and pepper. Fold in the sautéed spinach mixture.
Spoon the filling into each mushroom cap, mounding slightly.
Optional: Sprinkle breadcrumbs and a little extra Parmesan on top for a golden crust.
Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until mushrooms are tender and tops are golden and bubbly.
Let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with parsley or a squeeze of lemon if desired.
Notes
You can prep these ahead and refrigerate before baking.
Swap in frozen spinach (thawed and drained) if needed.
Add a pinch of crushed red pepper for a spicy twist.
