Lower Fat Cream Cheese And Ricotta Stuffed Mushrooms Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare a baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Clean mushrooms with a damp paper towel. Carefully break stems from mushrooms. Chop stems extremely fine.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry chopped mushroom stems and garlic in hot oil until any moisture has disappeared, taking care not to burn the garlic, 3 to 5 minutes. Spread mushroom mixture into a bowl to cool completely, about 10 minutes.
• Stir cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, black pepper, onion powder, and cayenne pepper with the mushroom stems and garlic until very thick and completely mixed. Use a small spoon fill each mushroom cap with a generous amount of stuffing. Arrange stuffed mushrooms onto the prepared cookie sheet.
• Bake in preheated oven until piping hot and liquid starts to form under the caps, about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375˚F (190˚C).
• Remove the stems from the mushrooms. Place the top half on a baking sheet.
• Mince the stems.
• Melt the butter in a pan and add the minced stems and minced garlic. Stir and cook for 2 minutes.
• Add the spinach, cook until it wilts.
• Add the cream cheese, salt, and pepper. Stir until the cream cheese is melted and everything is well-combined.
• Take a spoonful of the spinach mixture and fill each mushroom top.
• Mix bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese in a bowl and sprinkle the mixture on top of the dip stuffed mushrooms.
• Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

Steps:

• (Since I'm usually cooking for 1 or 2, I tend to cut the recipe in half. Also, a great deal of this recipe is to taste. So if you like your mushrooms meatier, add more meat and less cream cheese.).
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Remove stems from mushrooms an wash thoroughly. Let mushrooms dry on a paper towel.
• In a food processor add cream cheese, entire package of artificial crab, two tablespoons of parmesan, and two cloves of garlic. (You may also add some chopped scallions if you like). Pulse until smooth.
• Taste your mixture and add salt, pepper, and powdered garlic to taste.
• With a spoon, scoop about one tablespoon of mixture into each mushroom, or until cap is full and overflowing a bit. Use the spoon to smooth out mixture into a nice mound. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray of choice and place completed mushrooms evenly on the sheet. Sprinkle mushrooms with more parmesan cheese to taste. Bake about 8 mins, or until mushroom tops begin to brown.
• (If you make the entire recipe but don't end up using all of the cheesy crab mixture, it tastes amazing chilled and served on crackers or wrapped into wanton noodles and fried.).

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Mix cream cheese, ricotta and garlic.
• Spoon cheese mixture into mushroom caps.
• Sprinkle shredded cheese on top.
• Bake for 10 minutes, or until shredded cheese is well melted.
• I suggest putting aluminum foil on a cookie sheet for easy clean-up, since the cheese may ooze over a bit.

Steps:

• Remove stems from mushrooms; set caps aside. Chop stems, reserving 1/3 cup (discard remaining stems or save for another use). In a bowl, combine the bread crumbs, sour cream, Parmesan cheese, chives, mayonnaise, vinegar, hot pepper sauce if desired and reserved mushroom stems; mix well., Place mushroom caps on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray; stuff with crumb mixture. Broil 4-6 in. from the heat for 5-7 minutes or until lightly browned.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix ricotta cheese, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, parsley and pepper. Remove and discard stems from mushrooms; with a spoon, scrape and remove gills. Fill caps with ricotta mixture. Top with tomato slices., Grill, covered, over medium heat until mushrooms are tender, 8-10 minutes. Remove from grill with a metal spatula., Meanwhile, place basil, almonds and garlic in a small food processor; pulse until chopped. Add remaining Parmesan cheese; pulse just until blended. While processing, gradually add oil and enough water to reach desired consistency. Spoon over stuffed mushrooms before serving.
