Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 large button mushrooms
- 4 ounces low fat cream cheese
- 2 stalks green onions
- 1 cup spinach
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 spray olive oil cooking spray
- 2 tablespoons whole wheat breadcrumbs
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth and remove the stems. Set the caps aside and finely chop the stems for the filling.
In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, preheat with a spray of olive oil cooking spray.
Add the chopped mushroom stems to the skillet and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they release moisture.
Add minced garlic, chopped green onions, and finely chopped spinach to the pan. Cook for another 3 minutes until the spinach wilts.
Transfer the sautéed mixture to a mixing bowl and let it cool slightly.
Add the low-fat cream cheese, lemon juice, black pepper, and salt to the cooled mixture. Stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients into a creamy filling.
Place the mushroom caps on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and spray lightly with olive oil cooking spray.
Fill each mushroom cap generously with the cream cheese mixture. Use a small spoon to scoop and stuff each cap.
Sprinkle the filled mushroom caps with whole wheat breadcrumbs for an added crunch.
Bake the stuffed mushrooms in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and the tops are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your low-fat cream cheese stuffed mushrooms.
