These Spinach and Ricotta Stuffed Mushrooms make the perfect one-bite snack or appetizer! They’re packed with a decadently creamy ricotta cheese filling, fresh spinach, garlic and finished off with some parmesan! They’re easy to make and great for a party!
It’s not very often I get to enjoy a swanky party with “adult” food anymore. I know, that probably sounds funny but believe it or not I actually spend most of my time in yoga pants with my hair in a bun and I’m lucky if I get to enjoy any food while it’s still warm, never mind anything fancy or gourmet!
I guess it’s a good thing I’m a food blogger then, because I have an excuse to make (and eat!) all kind of delicious food. Like these amazing Spinach and Ricotta Stuffed Mushrooms. Which I totally ate while wearing my yoga pants, with my hair in a bun, after the kids were in bed for the night. And in the interest of full disclosure, I don’t feel one bit guilty about it because if there’s anything a mom of 2 preschoolers needs at the end of the day it’s a relaxing evening with a delicious snack, a good book, and the drink of her choice (sparkling water for me!), am I right?
Stuffed mushrooms have always seemed so classy to me, but I’ve always known they were simple to make. And it doesn’t get much easier than this recipe! A simple ricotta cheese mixture stuffed into white mushrooms, topped with some fresh Parmesan, and then baked to perfection! The ricotta keeps these stuffed mushrooms tasting light and fresh and the spinach adds a beautiful colour and an earthy flavour. If you love appetizers as much as I do, this is definitely a recipe you need in your collection!

Recipe: Notes
Make ahead instructions
To prepare this in advance, prepare the filling one day ahead, and then Stuff the mushrooms just before baking. The filling can release some liquid as it sits, so I wouldn’t stuff the mushrooms with it until right before baking because you don’t want soggy mushrooms .How to store stuffed mushrooms?

I am not at all a mushroom fan, but with this stuffing, I may devour several!
Thanks Kristen! The stuffing is definitely the best part!!
I wear yoga pants about 90% of the time, too! My hair would be in a bun, too, if it wasn't so short 😉 I could make a meal out of these fabulous mushrooms!!!
I'm glad I'm not alone! And I could definitely make a meal out of these too 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!

I made these with my fresh herbs instead of spinach because that’s what I had on hand. So delicious!!! Thanks for the recipe!
So glad you liked them! Sounds like a great substitution! 🙂
Can you prepare the day before cooking?
Great question! Yes, you can prepare the filling a day ahead, and then stuff the mushrooms just before baking. The filling can release some liquid as it sits, so I wouldn’t stuff the mushrooms with it until right before baking because you don’t want soggy mushrooms 🙂
Made today 12-25-17. So very good. Wvill be making again. Thank yoy
Thanks for the positive feedback! So glad you enjoyed the recipe!
You mention garlic in your post but not in the recipe. I was wondering how much garlic you used and did you mix it in uncooked.
2 cloves of garlic goes in the filling 🙂
These were Delicious!! Smells great while they are baking!
We’re so glad you enjoyed them, Leslie!
These were Fantastic!! Smells great while baking too!!
