Ideas for healthy stuffed mushrooms
These healthy stuffed mushrooms do not contain cream cheese or bread crumbs like many of the other stuffed mushroom recipes do. I’ve cut calories by using less butter as well. If you’re vegetarian, you can easily make this a vegetarian stuffed mushroom recipe by omitting the bacon.
Can you make this baked stuffed mushroom recipe ahead of time?
Yes, you can make the filling and stuff the mushrooms ahead of time and bake them when you’re ready! Don’t stuff them more than a few days ahead though. In addition they actually taste pretty well reheated although I do prefer to serve them fresh out of the oven.
Healthy Stuffed Mushroom Appetizers in Pictures:
Clean and prepare your mushrooms. Wipe off the excess dirt with a damp paper towel. Then pop off the stems. Finely chop the stems for later and be sure and save them, they are part of the filling.
Chop onions and place in a nonstick skillet (paid link) with the garlic and 1 tablespoon of butter. By using the nonstick skillet (paid link), you don’t need to use too much butter but you still get all the flavor. Sauté until onions are brown and caramelized.
Add the wine to the caramelized onions and cook for a few minutes before stirring in the chopped stems. Cook for a few minutes.
Add in the Casa M Spice Co® Pecking Order spice, pepper, salt, fresh herbs and bacon.
Add in the light sour cream and the parmesan cheese. Heat for a few minutes until creamy and everything is well mixed.
Stuff each mushroom with the filling. Use a tiny spoon for best results. Bake at 400° for 25-30 minutes. Sprinkle with extra parmesan cheese and finely chopped leeks if desired.
