Ingredients

  • ½ cup of low-fat or fat-free mozzarella cheese
  • cup breadcrumbs
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 quart of mushrooms
  • 1 package of fresh baby spinach
  • 2 garlic gloves minced
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees and line a baking pan with tin foil.
  • Remove stems from the mushroom caps and set aside (you will be using these!). Place mushroom caps stem-side down on baking pan and bake at 375 for 10 minutes.
  • Once you remove them from the oven, clean up excess liquid with a paper towel and set mushrooms right-side up.
  • Add two tablespoons of olive oil to a pan over medium heat. Using a food processor, dice the mushroom stems for about 30 seconds, then add to the olive oil, adding your garlic cloves as well.
  • Add spinach and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, until the garlic is browned and fragrant.
  • Add in your cayenne pepper and salt and mix well.
  • Pour the mixture into a large bowl and add your bread crumbs and cheese and mix well.
  • I gently rolled the mixture into tiny balls and squished them into the mushroom caps, and patted down with the palm of my hand.
  • If you like a big, heaping stuffed mushroom, just add extra on top.
  • Bake at 375 degrees for about 15 minutes and allow to cool for a few minutes before eating!
