Stuffed Mushrooms

When I was at the grocery store the other day I found a container of organic mushrooms marked down to the ridiculously cheap price of .99 cents. Now I am not one to turn down a good deal so I sort of impulsively put them in my cart and vowed to find some way to use them for dinner.

Well fast-forward a few hours later that evening and this is what I came up with based on the other ingredients I already had on hand:

Stuffed Mushrooms with Spinach and Blue Cheese

The ingredients:




1 T. extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 onion chopped
stems from the mushrooms, chopped
handful fresh spinach, chopped
1/8 c. breadcrumbs ( I used panko because that is all I had on hand)
1/4 c. bleu cheese
Kosher salt and ground pepper to taste

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Line a cookie sheet with foil (this makes clean-up a breeze) and place mushroom cups upside down like so

3. Heat oil in a medium sized sauce pan over medium heat and add the chopped onion and mushroom stems. When onions start to brown add the garlic and bread crumbs (if it looks dry add just a drizzle more oil). Then add the spinach and wilt and finally the bleu cheese. Stir to combine. Remove the mixture from heat. Add salt and pepper to taste. It should look something like this:


4. Now take a spoon and fill up those caps

5. Bake in the oven until cheese starts to melt and mushrooms warm through
