Ingredients
Instructions
- Cook frozen spinach on high until barely defrosted.
- Drain in colander, pressing out moisture.
- In a mixing bowl, combine spinach, Parmesan, Feta, green onions, parsley, and salt to taste.
- Mix well.
- Mound the spinach mixture high into mushroom caps.
- Arrange on a serving plate and cook on high until steaming, approximately 3 to 4 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, try adding minced garlic or chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the filling. If you don't have fresh parsley, fresh dill or basil can be excellent substitutes. You can also use other cheese varieties like goat cheese or mozzarella instead of Feta. Make sure to press out as much moisture from the spinach as possible to prevent soggy mushrooms.
Serving Suggestions
These Greek stuffed mushrooms make a fantastic appetizer or party snack. They pair beautifully with a refreshing Greek salad or a side of tzatziki sauce for dipping. For a complete meal, consider serving them alongside Roast Potato Cake or other Mediterranean recipes to create a delightful spread.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh spinach instead of frozen?
Yes, you can use fresh spinach! You'll need about 1 pound of fresh spinach. Sauté it in a pan until wilted, then chop and drain it before mixing it with the other ingredients. This will give the filling a vibrant flavor and texture.

Absolutely! You can prepare the stuffed mushrooms ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before cooking. Just cover them tightly with plastic wrap or foil. When you're ready to serve, cook them straight from the fridge, but you may need to add a minute or two to the cooking time.
What can I serve with stuffed mushrooms?
Stuffed mushrooms pair well with a variety of dishes. Consider serving them alongside a light pasta dish, like Creamy Pesto Tomato Rice, or a fresh garden salad. They also complement grilled vegetables or other appetizers like Eggplant Hors D'Oeuvre, making for a well-rounded meal or buffet.
