Ingredients
- 2 pounds cremini mushroom or white button mushroom
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 packed cup roasted red peppers finely chopped
- 1/2 cup yellow onion finely chopped
- 3 garlic minced, large cloves
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 2 packed cups spinach finely chopped, baby
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese whole milk
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese
- 2 tablespoons parsley for garnish, finely minced
Instructions
- Get ready. Preheat your oven to 375°F.
- Prepare the mushrooms: Wash and remove stems from mushroom caps to create a well for the filling. If the stems are difficult to remove, use a small spoon to scrape them out. Reserve the stems, you’ll chop them up and add them to the filling later.
- Season the mushrooms: Place mushroom caps on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Gently toss to coat and place all the mushroom caps in a single layer with the scooped-out side up.
- Make the filling: Set a medium skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Finely chop the mushroom stems, and add them to the skillet along with the roasted red pepper, onion, garlic, Italian seasoning and remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally until the onion, garlic, and mushroom stems have softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes more.
- Add the cheese: Transfer the vegetables to a medium sized bowl. Add the ricotta and stir to combine.
- Stuff and bake the mushrooms: Use a small spoon to fill each mushroom with a rounded heap of filling. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and bake for 20 minutes until the mushrooms are cooked and the cheese is melted. Turn on the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes to crisp parmesan cheese on top. Remove from oven. Garnish with minced parsley.
- Serve: Serve the mushrooms warm as an appetizer or a side dish.
Notes
- Mushrooms vary in size. So the filling should be enough for 2 pounds. If you have leftover filling it will keep in the fridge for up to 4 days. Use it as a spread on sandwiches, top chicken breasts with it and bake in the oven, stir it into pasta, or add a little extra cheese and use it as a dip.
- Mushrooms cool quickly. To keep them warm try these tricks:
- If you have these they are a great way to keep hot foods hot, but most of us don’t have chafing dishes laying around the house.
- Warm a block of salt in the oven and serve the mushrooms on top of the warmed salt.
- These things stay hot forever. Place a towel on the handle so people don’t accidentally grab it, then use your pizza stone or griddle as a warm serving tray.
- – serve them on a preheated pizza stone, heat rocksalt
