Spinach & Goat Cheese Stuffed Portobellos

Spinach and goat cheese stuffed portobello

Ingredients

  • 2 portobello mushrooms
  • 4 oz log goat cheese
  • 10 oz frozen spinach
  • 1 medium shallot , finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic , finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • pinch of salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Remove the stems from the mushrooms, and use a spoon to scrape out the dark brown insides. Then use a damp paper towel to wipe off any excess dirt on the outside.
  • Place the mushrooms stem side down on a Silpat lined baking sheet. Broil until just tender, about 4 minutes per side. Place them upside down on paper towels to drain off any liquids.
  • Meanwhile, defrost the spinach in the microwave according to the directions on the package. Place the defrosted spinach in a colander to drain. Repeatedly press on the spinach with the back of a large spoon to remove as much water as possible.
  • Preheat a small skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil, shallots, and garlic. Saute for about 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the shallots are starting to turn slightly brown. 
  • Transfer the shallots to a mixing bowl, add the spinach, goat cheese, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir with a fork to evenly combine. 
  • Pull the mushrooms out of the oven after they have pre-baked, let them cool for a few minutes so you can handle them. Turn them over and stuff each one with 1/2 of the spinach/goat cheese mixture. Smooth out the top and place them back in the oven. 
  • Bake for 6-8 minutes, until the mushrooms are soft and the goat cheese is warmed all the way through. Serve and enjoy!
