cooking spray
1/4 teaspoon salt, divided
1 cup fat-free ricotta cheese
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
0.5 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained thoroughly (I used fresh spinach & just sauteed it in Pam and then chopped it up)

Tips:

  • Choose fresh and flavorful ingredients. The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the final dish, so be sure to use the freshest and most flavorful mushrooms, spinach, and cheese that you can find.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When cooking the mushrooms, be sure to give them enough space so that they can brown properly. If you overcrowd the pan, the mushrooms will steam instead of brown, and they will not have as much flavor.
  • Cook the mushrooms until they are tender. The mushrooms should be cooked until they are tender but still have a little bit of bite to them. If you overcook them, they will become tough and rubbery.
  • Use a flavorful cheese. The type of cheese that you use will also greatly impact the flavor of the dish. Use a cheese that has a strong flavor, such as Parmesan, cheddar, or blue cheese.
  • Serve the dish immediately. Spinach and cheese stuffed mushroom caps are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will ensure that the cheese is melted and gooey and the mushrooms are still hot and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Spinach and cheese stuffed mushroom caps are a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, side dish, or main course. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your spinach and cheese stuffed mushroom caps are perfect every time.
