Ingredients
Scale
- 20 mushrooms – cleaned, stems removed baby bella, baby portobello or button mushrooms
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 10oz bag frozen spinach or 1 cup fresh spinach
- ½ cup onion chopped
- 1 jalapeno chopped
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 8oz cream cheese
- salt and pepper to taste
- ⅓ cup parmesan cheese
- ⅓ cup panko bread crumbs
- ½ cup muenster cheese
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easier clean up. Place mushroom caps on a baking sheet and spray top and bottom sides with non-stick cooking spray.
-
In a bowl add the cream cheese, parmesan cheese, muenster cheese, salt and pepper to taste. Stir mixture to blend and set aside.
-
In a pan, heat up some oil and add the onions, jalapenos and garlic. Cook for 4-6 mins until onions are translucent. Next add the frozen or fresh spinach. If you’re using frozen spinach mak sure you squeeze most of the excess moisture from spinach. Cook for addtional 3 mins and tranfers this mixutre to the bowl with the cream cheese mixure.
-
Scoop out a spoonful at a time and stuff into mushrooms. Sprinkle with panke bread crumbs and spray or brush with oil and bake in the oven for 20-25 mins. If the bread crumbs didn’t brown enough you can broil for a couple of mins.
Notes
- If you don’t have panko bread crumbs on hand you can use regular bread crumbs.
- You can use mozzarella or pepper jack cheese as well if you can’t find muenster cheese, I usually find muenster cheese in the deli section and get a couple of slices and then finely chop it into my cream cheese mixture.
- If you’re using frozen spinach, make sure you thaw and remove all the excess water.
