Ingredients

  • 8 ounces Mushrooms white button or cremini
  • 1 teaspoon Olive Oil
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • ¼ cup Low-fat Cottage Cheese
  • 2 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese grated
  • 2 tablespoons Bread Crumbs
  • ½ teaspoon Parsley dried
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon Pepper
  • Fresh Parsley for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375-degrees. Prepare a baking sheet either by covering with foil or spraying with non-stick spray.
  • 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.
  • Peel and mince the fresh garlic.
  • Warm a small skillet over medium heat.
  • 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. Cook until the stems have slightly browned and softened.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, parsley, and the stem and garlic mixture.
  • Stuff the mushroom caps with the filling. Use a spoon, cookie scoop or even your hands, whichever is easier for you.
  • 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.
  • Serve the stuffed mushrooms on a platter and lightly sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley.

Notes

 
Recipe Variations
  • Shallots - Sauté with the mushroom stems for a milder, sweeter alternative to garlic.
  • Red pepper flakes - Stir a pinch into the filling for a touch of heat.
  • Thyme - Add fresh or dried thyme while sautéing the stems for a subtle, earthy flavor.
  • Seasoned bread crumbs - Use in place of plain bread crumbs for an easy flavor boost.
 
This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled to feed a crowd. 
Store leftover mushrooms in the refrigerator in a covered container for 2 to 3 days. Rewarm in the oven if desired.
