Ingredients
- 10-13 large white button mushrooms
- 1 tsp. olive oil
- 1 stalk celery, finely diced
- 1 Tbsp. shallot, finely chopped
- 1 tsp. garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. pepper
- 2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
- 1 cup cooked US-Grown Wild Rice Blend
- 2 Tbsp. Panko breadcrumbs or Italian Breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1/2 cup freshly shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- Parsley, fresh (garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 400°F.
- Clean the mushrooms and remove the stems.Remove any of the excess dirt and gently pop out the stem using your fingers and reserve stems in a small bowl.
- Roast the mushrooms: Place the mushrooms stem side up on a baking sheet and roast them for 10-12 minutes, or until mushroom caps fill with water. Carefully discard liquid in each mushroom and set aside while you prepare the filling.
- Prep the vegetables: finely chop mushroom stems and chop other vegetables if not already prepped.
- Cook the filling: In a medium sized skillet over medium-high heat, heat olive oil. Sauté the celery and shallot for about 3minutes, stirring occasionally. Then add in the chopped mushroom stems, garlic, salt and pepper. Cook until the liquid evaporates. Lastly add in the chopped spinach and cook until spinach wilts. Remove from heat and place mixture in a large bowl.
- Add in the cooked rice, cheese, breadcrumbs and egg. Stir to combine.
- Stuff the mushrooms: Divide the filling between the mushroom caps, be generous so you create a nice mound on top and gently press down to fill the cavity of the mushroom.
- Bake the mushrooms on a baking sheet for 13-15 minutes or until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is hot.
- Garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve right away and enjoy!

Notes
- This amount of filling is good for 10-13 LARGE mushrooms depending on size. Double the filling for any amount of mushrooms you need to make OR if using small mushrooms purchase more mushrooms.
- Mushrooms are best served the day they are made. However, refrigerate leftovers in an air-tight container for up to 3 days.
