Vegetarian Stuffed Mushrooms Recipe
These stuffed mushrooms can be served as an appetizer of course, or as a side dish for grilled meats and fish. I've made them several times now and have enjoyed them on their own and as a side dish.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 8 mushrooms, wiped clean and stemmed (reserve the stems)
- 1 shallot
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon sun-dried tomato shreds, or 2 small sun-dried tomatoes, finely chopped
- 2 cups small spinach leaves
- 1/4 cup non-fat cottage cheese
- 2 tablespoons grated Pecorino cheese
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350F degrees. Lightly grease a baking sheet with nonstick spray.
- Chop the mushrooms, shallot and garlic in a processor, or by hand.
- In a small skillet over medium heat, heat the oil and add the chopped mushroom and shallot mixture.
- Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent any sticking.
- Add the spinach and stir until spinach wilts. Remove from the heat and stir in the cottage cheese and 1 tablespoon pecorino cheese.
- Fill the mushrooms with a hefty tablespoon of warmed mushroom and cottage cheese mixture and place on prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with remaining pecorino cheese.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until mushrooms are hot and slightly bubbly. (I used my new Cuisinart Chef's Convection Toaster Oven so I wouldn't have to heat up the whole kitchen.)

Bring to room temperature before baking. Crumbled feta cheese can be substituted for the milder cottage cheese and any fresh herbs you may have on hand like thyme, basil or dill would add another layer of deliciousness.
