If you're looking to add a bit more protein, consider incorporating cooked quinoa or chopped nuts into the filling. For those who love a kick, a sprinkle of diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce can bring an exciting twist to this classic recipe.

Ingredients

For the Stuffed Mushrooms

12 large mushrooms, stems removed
1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
2 tablespoons olive oil

Prepare the filling while the mushrooms are prepped.

Instructions

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Prepare the Mushroom Caps

Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth and remove the stems. Set aside.

Make the Filling

In a bowl, combine the chopped spinach, feta cheese, cream cheese, minced garlic, black pepper, salt, and red pepper flakes until well mixed.

Stuff the Mushrooms

Spoon the filling into each mushroom cap, packing it slightly.

Bake the Mushrooms

Place the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is heated through.

Let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Serving Suggestions

These Spinach and Feta Stuffed Mushrooms can be served warm or at room temperature, making them a flexible choice for any occasion. Pair them with a light dip or a refreshing salad for a complete appetizer experience. A glass of white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc, complements the earthy flavors beautifully.

For a fun twist, try serving them on a bed of arugula or mixed greens. The slight bitterness of the greens balances the richness of the stuffed mushrooms, creating a well-rounded bite that your guests will love.

Storage and Reheating

If you have leftovers (which is rare!), you can store the stuffed mushrooms in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes or until warmed through. This ensures that the mushrooms remain tender and the filling stays creamy.

For longer storage, consider freezing the stuffed mushrooms before baking. Arrange them on a baking sheet and freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer-safe container. When you're ready to enjoy them, bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
