Spinach & Cream Cheese-Stuffed Mushrooms

·

It's officially football season 🏈 and we couldn't be more pumped! Over the next few weeks, we'll be having Football Friday Appetizers so that you can keep game day easy and delicious. Starting off with a low carb-high protein appetizer is our Spinach & Cream Cheese-Stuffed Mushrooms!

How to make stuffed mushrooms?

It's truly the easiest appetizer (besides garlic bread lol).

  1. Mix together all ingredients (listed in recipe below).

  1. Clean the mushrooms with a damp towel, then carefully remove the stems (and extra insides if they are too small).
  2. Stuff the mushrooms with the filing.

  1. (Optional - but highly recommended) Top each mushroom cap with shredded mozzarella or parmesan for a crispy, ooey-gooey flavor component.
  2. Bake until golden brown, and enjoy!

Can I prep the stuffed mushroom ahead of time?

Yes! Here are my recommendations:

  • Complete every step EXCEPT for baking.
  • I would place them in the fridge covered, then bake when ready to serve.

Is there an alternative to cream cheese in stuffed mushrooms?

Yes, although the soft, buttery-like texture may change a slight bit.

Maybe try out:

  • Farmer Cheese
  • Part-Skim Roctta Cheese
  • Neufchâtel Cheese
  • Plain Greek Yogurt (even half it with the cream cheese)
  • Mascarpone
  • Cashew/Almond Cream Cheese

Now, it’s time to grab our aprons and begin baking deliciousness! ’till next time! xxL
