These savory bites of baby bellas have it all – from the meaty shroom, to the creamy spinach artichoke center, and finished with truffled panko bread crumbs. SO. MUCH. YUM! I will warn you that these never last long, and because of this I always err on the side of making more. You may have extra spinach artichoke dip left over after stuffing your shrooms and thats a-ok… I like to grab a bag of tortilla chips and dig in.
I have made these before using store bought vegan cream cheese and/or mayo (always delish), but while developing this recipe I really wanted to have the ingredients be super accessible and whole. I think this version is absolutely delicious and even easier to whip up. Pop one in your mouth and you won’t be able to stop! Again, a-ok. They make for a great appetizer and are a proven crowd pleaser.
Spinach Artichoke Stuffed Shrooms
Ingredients
- 1-2 pack baby bella mushrooms or 15-30
- 1 cup cashews raw
- 1/2 cup water filtered
- 1 small clove of garlic fresh
- 1/2 lemon juiced
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon agave nectar
- 1 cup spinach fresh, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup basil fresh, finely chopped
- 1 8.5oz can artichoke hearts I usually get them quartered vs whole, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
- 1 tablespoon truffle oil
- 1 teaspoon salt I prefer fine pink himalayan
- 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Clean mushrooms and remove the stems. Then set aside.
-
Now, make the cashew cream by blending the cashews, water, garlic, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt and pepper on high until smooth. Transfer to mixing bowl.
-
Next, using a knife or food processor, finely chop the spinach and basil. Add to the bowl with the cashew cream.
-
Again, using a knife or food processor, finely chop the artichoke hearts. And add to the bowl with the cashew cream, spinach, and basil. Using a spoon, mix to combine. Add another 1/2 teaspoon of salt and pepper each or add to taste.
-
Using a small spoon, fill the centers of each baby bella with the spinach artichoke dip. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for about 15 minutes.
-
While the shrooms are in the oven, mix the panko breadcrumbs and truffle oil.
-
Once the mushrooms have been removed from the oven and have slightly cooled, top each with a heavy sprinkle of truffled breadcrumbs. Maybe garnish with some finely chopped fresh basil, serve, and ENJOY!
