Goat Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms
Impress your guests with these easy and delicious goat cheese stuffed mushrooms. These tasty vegetarian appetizers are sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
Ingredients
- 1 lb whole mushrooms (about 20 oz); baby bellas or button mushrooms work best
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion
- 3 tablespoon sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil finely diced
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 cups spinach roughly chopped
- 8 oz goat cheese
- ⅛ teaspoon salt (a pinch)
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Clean the dirt off the mushrooms with a damp paper towel.*(see note below)
- Gently pop out the stems of the mushroom and finely dice the stems. Set the mushroom caps aside.
- Add the olive oil to a frying pan over medium heat. Sauté the mushroom stems, onion, and sun-dried tomatoes over medium heat for 5-8 minutes.
- Add in the garlic and spinach and continue to sauté until it wilts, about 2 minutes. Turn off the heat.
- In a large mixing bow, add the sautéed veggies, goat cheese, salt and garlic powder. Mix well until combined. The goat cheese will melt slightly from the heat. It should look similar to cream cheese after it melts. If it looks too melted, simply place the mixture in the fridge for 5 minutes.
- Scoop a hearty spoonful of cheese mixture and stuff the cavity of each mushroom cap. The mushrooms should be overstuffed, creating a small mound on top.
- Dip each mushroom into the panko breadcrumbs to coat the top of the cheese mixture.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the stuffed mushrooms on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes (depending on size of the mushrooms). Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
*I recommend using a damp paper towel to gently wash the mushrooms. Mushrooms absorb water, therefore they may become mushy if they are rinsed under water.
Store leftovers in an airtight container with a paper towel to absorb excess moisture. Reheat in the oven or air fryer until warm.
