These bite-sized morsels are easy to make and pack a punch of savory goodness. The mushrooms are first hollowed out and then filled with a mixture of sautéed spinach, tangy feta cheese, garlic, and a blend of herbs and spices.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 12 large mushrooms, preferably cremini or button mushrooms
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley or dill, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Clean the mushrooms and remove the stems. Carefully hollow out the mushroom caps, creating a cavity for the filling. Set aside.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  4. Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
  5. In a bowl, combine the sautéed spinach, crumbled feta cheese, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well to incorporate all the ingredients.
  6. Spoon the spinach and feta mixture into the mushroom caps, filling each one generously.
  7. Arrange the stuffed mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is golden brown.
  8. Once baked, remove the mushrooms from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley or dill before serving.

Notes

When choosing mushrooms, look for firm and plump ones without any signs of discoloration or mushiness. It’s important to hollow out the mushroom caps to create enough space for the filling. You can save the mushroom stems and use them in other dishes or add them to the filling for extra flavor. Feel free to customize the filling by adding ingredients like diced tomatoes, chopped olives, or grated Parmesan cheese for additional depth of flavor. For a crispier topping, sprinkle some breadcrumbs or grated cheese on top of the filled mushrooms before baking. Enjoy!
