3 Cheese Spinach Stuffed Baby Portabellas

Well this summer has sure flown by so far. As I've just gotten off the most splendid of honeymoons, it's time to get back to reality, and that means regular blog posts again. Our wedding was absolutely the most incredible amount of fun I've ever had. I just wish I could re-live it again and again every night for at least a year, complete with frilly hair and fancy jewelry and cake and dancing. But since I can't, it's time to get back into the routine of work, gardens and everything else that falls in the middle I suppose....

 Since every ounce of spare time isn't being wasted searching the internet for wedding nails or hairstyles,or trying to find the perfect yard of tulle, I've found my inspiration for cooking some fun new things again. This is one recipe I've made many variations of, because mushrooms and cheese are just plain amazing together. Unless you're one of those mushroom haters, and in that case I guess this isn't the recipe for you. But if you are one of us fungal connoisseurs, this may just be right up your alley.


3 Cheese Spinach Stuffed Baby Portabellas

-12 fresh baby portabella mushrooms, stems removed
-3 cups slightly cooked spinach, chopped 
-4 ounces cream cheese
-4 ounces feta cheese

-1 cup grated Parmesan

1-/2 cup finely chopped green onion
-1 teaspoon garlic powder
-1 t. salt
-1 t. pepper

DirectionsPreheat oven to 350 degrees. De-stem and wipe mushrooms clean with a damp paper towel or mushroom brush. Cook spinach in 1 t. olive oil for 2-3 minutes until just wilted  in mixing bowl and combine all ingredients except mushrooms and Parmesan cheese and mix well. Fill mushroom caps with misture and place on a cookie sheet and sprinkle Parmesan on top and bake for 15-20 minutes and serve warm.


Oh sweet Martha, these are divine...

These  have the lovely meaty texture of the portabellas and the gooey awesomeness of the cheese and spinach, these make a great appetizer or side-dish. I want to try and make so many of these stuffed lovelies, maybe next time with artichokes?? Enjoy!!
