Description

Delectable Parmesan Spinach Stuffed Mushrooms showcase elegant Italian-inspired appetizers perfect for gatherings. Crisp mushroom caps filled with herbed cheese blend create irresistible small bites you cannot stop enjoying.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups (946 ml) dry stuffing mix
  • 1 cup (237 ml) chicken broth
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • ½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • ½ cup (75 g) celery, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp poultry seasoning
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preparation: Warm the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for effortless cooking and cleanup.
  2. Mixing Base: Blend dry stuffing mix with chicken broth and melted butter, creating a uniformly moistened foundation that ensures rich, consistent flavor throughout the mixture.
  3. Flavor Enhancement: Fold in beaten eggs, diced onions, and chopped celery, then season with poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper to build a complex and robust taste profile.
  4. Shaping and Arranging: Craft uniform spherical bites comparable to golf ball size, strategically positioning them across the prepared baking sheet with adequate spacing to promote even heat circulation.
  5. Baking Process: Roast the savory bites in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, watching for a golden-brown exterior and firm texture that signals complete cooking.
  6. Finishing Touch: After removing from the oven, let the bites rest momentarily, then garnish with freshly chopped parsley to introduce a vibrant, herbaceous element that elevates the overall presentation and flavor.

Notes

  • Moisture Magic: Ensure stuffing mixture is evenly dampened to prevent dry, crumbly bites that lack cohesion and rich flavor.
  • Size Matters: Shape bites consistently to guarantee uniform cooking and attractive presentation, using a golf ball as your precise sizing guide.
  • Golden Rule: Watch closely during baking to achieve perfect golden-brown exterior without burning, checking texture and color around 20-minute mark.
  • Fresh Finish: Add chopped parsley just before serving to preserve its bright color and maximize herb’s aromatic qualities, enhancing overall sensory experience.
