Express Stuffed Mushrooms

Stuffed Mushrooms

You can have an army of bite sized wonders perfect for an appetizer, party hors d’oeuvres or side dish for dinner ready in less than 25 minutes. These stuffed mushrooms are equally as delicious as the more time consuming recipes, but done in the time it takes to watch an episode of your favorite tv sitcom.

The results are similar to a popular Italian restaurant, but a few healthy swaps slash the calories and fat. The sampler sized portion at the chain eatery has 280 calories and 19 grams of fat. This speedy version has just 50 calories and 2 grams of fat!

You Will Need:

1 package of Stove Top Stuffing (Low Sodium versions are best for those watching their waistlines)

2 cups hot water

Fresh mushrooms – about 30 or a 12 oz package

2 tablespoons butter

1 heaping tablespoon of minced garlic (or 2 cloves of fresh chopped garlic)

1 cup Italian blend shredded cheese

Olive oil

3 ounces Clam juice – *optional

To Create Express Stuffed Mushrooms:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

2. Remove stems from mushrooms and dice.

3. Toss mushroom stems and garlic in a hot pan along with a splash of olive oil for 3 minutes.

4. Mix hot water, butter, garlic, chopped stems, cheese and *clam juice with the stuffing in a mixing bowl.

5. Stuff mushrooms by spooning mixture into the open caps.

6. Lightly drizzle olive oil over the stuffed mushrooms and sprinkle a small handful of cheese on top.

7. Bake in an oven-safe pan or casserole dish for 18-20 minutes.

Stick a toothpick in each one or glide serenely around your party with a tray full of these delights and serve with cocktail napkin and a smile. You can also jazz up the stuffing by adding your touches like the addition of spinach, shredded crab or petite diced tomatoes.
