A quick and easy recipe featuring large mushrooms stuffed with a creamy blend of spinach, artichokes, and cheeses, perfect for parties or a comforting snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2025 large white or cremini mushrooms, cleaned and stems removed
  • 5 oz fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1 cup marinated artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup cottage cheese, small-curd preferred
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Wipe each mushroom cap with a damp paper towel to remove dirt. Remove stems and set caps aside on the baking sheet. Chop the stems finely.
  3. Heat olive oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and chopped mushroom stems; cook for 3-4 minutes until fragrant and softened.
  4. Add chopped spinach to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  5. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, cottage cheese, grated Parmesan, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir in the sautéed veggies and chopped artichokes until well mixed.
  6. Fill each mushroom cap generously with the spinach artichoke mixture using a spoon or small scoop.
  7. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella evenly over each filled mushroom.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes until mushrooms are tender and cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  9. Let mushrooms rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow filling to set.

Notes

Do not soak mushrooms in water; wipe clean instead to avoid sogginess. Use room temperature cream cheese for smooth filling. Wilt spinach well and drain excess moisture to prevent runny filling. If filling is too loose, chill for 10 minutes before stuffing. Adjust baking time for larger mushrooms. For vegan version, use dairy-free cheeses and substitute cottage cheese with blended silken tofu.
