Balsamic-Glazed Cranberry & Goat Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms with Spinach 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ingredients:

16 large button or cremini mushrooms, stems removed
4 oz goat cheese, softened
1/4 cup dried cranberries, chopped
1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
2 tbsp walnuts or pecans, chopped (optional for crunch)
2 tbsp balsamic glaze (store-bought or homemade)
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions:


Prepare the Mushrooms: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line with parchment paper. Clean mushrooms, remove the stems, and hollow them out slightly if needed.

Cook the Spinach: In a small skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and spinach, cooking for 1-2 minutes until the spinach is wilted. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, then remove from heat.

Make the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine softened goat cheese, chopped cranberries, cooked spinach, and chopped nuts (if using). Mix until well combined.

Stuff the Mushrooms: Spoon the goat cheese mixture into each mushroom cap, mounding slightly on top. Place the stuffed mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake: Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is warm and lightly golden.

Drizzle with Balsamic Glaze: Remove mushrooms from the oven and let cool slightly. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and garnish with fresh parsley.

Serve: Serve warm as a savory-sweet appetizer or side dish!
