    This recipe was adapted from a recipe by Richard Simmons in his Farewell to Fat Cookbook.

    I wanted a healthy stuffed mushroom recipe that is not only light but also delicious! This one works!

    Some of the changes that I made to this recipe from the original version are that I used low-fat cottage cheese instead of low-fat ricotta cheese. Cottage cheese is just easier to come by at my local store.

    Also, I have slightly reduced the amount of Parmesan cheese. Since Parmesan is a bit salty, I didn't want this light snack to turn into something that would make me thirsty for hours.

    A few other slight adjustments were made to make this recipe perfect for our family.

    This is a healthy stuffed mushroom recipe that is a great appetizer to serve on holidays or game days. Or, serve any time of year for a nice, light, afternoon snack.

    Ingredients needed

    • Fresh Mushrooms
    • Low-fat Cottage Cheese
    • Freshly grated Parmesan
    • Dried and/or Fresh Parsley
    • Bread Crumbs
    • Fresh Garlic
    • Salt
    • Pepper
    • Olive Oil

    What we really liked about this recipe is that these mushrooms were so light, a bit on the healthier side than a lot of stuffed mushroom recipes, and they were absolutely delicious.

    In the nutritional information, I listed this recipe as two servings. My main reason for doing that was when I cook these stuffed mushrooms, my husband and I gobble them down before anyone else has a chance to have any.

    If you are serving it with other appetizers, or for a larger group you might want to adjust the recipe.

    I made this recipe using an 8-ounce package of white button mushrooms. If you are serving a group, you can easily double or triple this recipe. 

    How to prepare this recipe

    1. Preheat the oven to 375-degrees. Prepare a baking sheet either by covering with foil or spraying with non-stick spray.
    2. Warm a small skillet over medium heat.
    3. Prepare the mushrooms. Wipe any excess dirt off of the mushrooms. Carefully remove the stems from the mushroom caps and finely chop the stems up.
    4. Peel and mince the fresh garlic.
    5. Lightly saute the garlic and chopped stems. Drizzle a little olive oil in the skillet and add the garlic and mushroom stems. Cook and stir for only about a minute or two. Add salt and pepper at this point.
    6. In a small bowl, mix together the cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, parsley, and the stem and garlic mixture.
    7. Stuff the mushroom caps with the filling. Using a spoon or even your hands, whichever is easier for you.
    8. Bake. The Easy Stuffed Mushrooms will need to bake about 10 -15 minutes, depending on the size of the mushroom. The tops should be a nice golden brown.
    9. Serve. Serve the stuffed mushrooms on a platter and lightly sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley.
