These velvety, garlicky, spinach stuffed mushrooms are loaded with rich, substantial flavor, crisp green, smooth spinach goodness, and covered in brilliant, percolating parmesan cheddar – they make an incredible summer tidbit or light lunch!
The flavor and surface of portobello mushrooms is stunning – rich, delicious and nearly meat-like – no big surprise it's frequently utilized as an option in contrast to a substantial burger! By consolidating the mushrooms with a velvety, garlicky spinach filling, you get a huge amount of additional flavor – garlic appears to have a characteristic liking with mushrooms – and in my book, you can never turn out badly by including spread and cheddar into the condition!
These smooth spinach stuffed mushrooms make an extraordinary light lunch or tidbit – all you need is some new dry bread to clean up the juices, and a chilled glass of your preferred warm climate drink to extinguish your thirst, appreciate!

INGREDIENTS
- 10 medium / 5 large portobello mushrooms (approx 350-400g)*
- 3 tablespoons butter, divided
- 2 teaspoons garlic puree (or crushed garlic)
- 200g baby spinach leaves
- 3-4 tablespoons sour cream (or could use softened cream cheese)
- 4-5 tablespoons parmesan cheese, freshly grated
INSTRUCTIONS
- Remove the stems from the mushrooms (I just gently slide a knife around the base of the stem and it usually pops off quite easily) and wipe any dirt off with a paper towel.
- Melt one tablespoon of the butter, and brush over the mushrooms, inside and out. Set aside.
- Finely chop the mushrooms stems. In a large pan or skillet, heat the remaining butter, add the chopped mushroom stems and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic puree, stir and cook for another couple of minutes.
- Add the spinach to the pan (it looks a huge amount, but will wilt down really quickly, just add it a handful at a time!) Stir to coat the spinach in the garlicky butter.
- Once the spinach is wilted and reduced in size, remove from the heat, stir in the sour cream and then set aside.
- Preheat your griddle pan over a medium/high heat. Spoon the spinach mixture into the centre of the mushrooms, sprinkle with freshly grated parmesan and place them on the preheated griddle. Allow to cook for 10-12 minutes - the mushrooms will be done when they are juicy, firm but tender and a glossy, dark brown colour.
- To make sure your cheese is extra golden brown and bubbly, place the pan under a hot grill for the last two minutes of cooking time.
- Let them rest for a couple of minutes, then serve warm, with lots of crusty bread!
NOTES
*Mine were sold as "mini portobello" but I would actually class them as medium, around 3 - 3.5 inches in diameter.
