Ingredients You’ll Need
To create these delicious stuffed mushrooms, gather the following ingredients:
- 4 large portobello mushrooms
- 6 oz MouCo ColoRouge cheese, cubed
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat Oven:
First, set your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures it’s ready when you are.
2. Prepare Mushrooms:
While the oven is heating, clean the portobello mushrooms with a damp cloth. Then, remove the stems and scrape out the gills to create space for the filling.
3. Sauté Spinach and Garlic:
Next, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Afterward, add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, which should take around 3 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat.
4. Mix the Filling:
In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed spinach and garlic with the cubed MouCo ColoRouge cheese and breadcrumbs. Additionally, season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Stuff the Mushrooms:
Now, place the prepared mushrooms on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle them with the remaining olive oil, and then generously fill each mushroom cap with the cheese mixture.
6. Bake:
Finally, bake the stuffed mushrooms for 20-25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. Garnish and Serve:
Once baked, garnish the mushrooms with chopped parsley and serve warm.
