Spinach-Stuffed Mushrooms

Spinach-Stuffed Mushrooms, a fantastic vegetarian appetizer that will be the star of any party. Healthy, ridiculously easy to make, low calorie, and so delicious, these mushrooms are sure to please a crowd.

Stuffed vegetables are not only divinely tasty and healthy, but also a great way of using up whatever is left in the fridge. Has it ever happened to you to buy some veggies and simply forget about them in the fridge?

Sadly, some much food ends up in the bin, and I myself am guilty of throwing food that either had not been eaten in time, or the ingredients did not even have a chance to be used in a dish.

So, no more waste, and stuffing vegetables is a pefect way of making sure everything gets used up. If you don’t have spinach for this recipe, use anything else, kale, broccoli, Brussels Sprouts, etc.

Cooked on their own, these veggies do not seem too tempting enough for some people, which is a shame, so a bit of helping hand from the nation’s favourite Cheddar cheese is more than welcome. It just brings some cheesy goodness that brings up a whole range of flavours.

Also, my best friend in the kitchen, the ground black pepper, has not disappointed me; some gentle spiciness was all l needed. Lovely!

Mushrooms are a great favourite of mine, from soups to all kind of stews, they are my favourite vegetable. They just pair nicely with any meat, and are tasty in any sauce.

Mushrooms have a high water content, so it’s a must to bake them beforehand in order to ensure they don’t get all mushy and watery when you stuff them, otherwise you end up with a big mess.

The breadcrumbs give a bit of a nice crunch, but you can omit them if you like. Use any type of cheese, mozzarella would work particularly well here too.

Never throw away the mushroom stems, they can be mixed with the rest of the ingredients, that gives even more flavour to the filling.

And there you have it, the perfect party food for any season, some outrageously delicious spinach-stuffed mushrooms. Mess free, lovely bites for yoru guests to enjoy, this is a gorgeous vegetarian appetizer for any occasion.
