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:

• Sprinkle remaining Parmesan on top.
• Bake for approx 20-25 minutes.

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.).
