Ingredients
10–13 large white button mushrooms
1 tsp. olive oil
1 stalk celery, finely diced
1 Tbsp. shallot, finely chopped
1 tsp. garlic, minced
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
1 cup cooked US-Grown Wild Rice Blend
2 Tbsp. Panko breadcrumbs or Italian breadcrumbs
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup freshly shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Parsley, fresh (garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Gently clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel and remove the stems. Set the mushroom caps aside and finely chop the stems.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced celery, shallots, and garlic, cooking until softened, about 4-5 minutes. Add the chopped mushroom stems and cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Stir in the cooked wild rice blend, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
- In a separate bowl, combine the cooled rice mixture with the beaten egg, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and breadcrumbs. Stir until the mixture is well incorporated and holds together.
- Spoon the filling into each mushroom cap, pressing gently to pack the stuffing in. Arrange the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake the stuffed mushrooms in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the mushrooms are tender.
- Remove from the oven, let the mushrooms cool slightly, and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately.
Notes
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat by baking at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes.
Make ahead by stuffing the mushrooms and refrigerating for up to 24 hours before baking.
Freeze uncooked stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet before transferring to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen at 375°F (190°C) for 30-35 minutes.
Substitute with portobello or cremini mushrooms for a heartier version.
Feel free to add cooked sausage, turkey, or bacon to the filling for extra flavor.
