cream cheese

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is a dairy-free option that adds umami flavor.

breadcrumbs

🥗Healthier: ground oats

💰Cheaper: crushed crackers

Ground oats provide a gluten-free option.

spinach

🥗Healthier: kale

💰Cheaper: frozen spinach

Frozen spinach is often less expensive and just as nutritious.

Remove the stalk from the portobello mushrooms by wiggling and wobbling it out.

Peel the mushrooms to expose the white flesh for better flavor absorption.

Place the peeled mushrooms in the oven without any seasoning for 15 minutes to enhance juiciness and nuttiness.

In a pan over medium heat, add a couple of tablespoons of olive oil and finely slice 2 cloves of garlic to fry gently.

Add 2 finely sliced onions to the pan and sweat for about 10 minutes until softened and sweet.

Add a tablespoon of vinegar to the pan and cook it away to create a sweet and sour flavor.

Grate half a nutmeg into the pan for added flavor.

Finely chop the mushroom peelings and stalks and add them to the pan.

Add 2 bags of spinach to the pan and cook for about 5 minutes until it wilts and intensifies in color.

Prepare the stuffing by using 2 slices of bread to make breadcrumbs, and add 50g of smashed hazelnuts and 50g of grated halloumi cheese to the mixture.

Mix the stuffing ingredients together until well combined.

Pour the mushroom broth from the baked mushrooms into the spinach mixture to enhance flavor.

Stuff the spinach mixture back into the baked mushrooms generously.

Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture on top of the stuffed mushrooms.

Optionally, prepare the dish a day in advance and refrigerate, or bake the stuffed mushrooms for about 15 minutes until crisp and golden.

Check the mushrooms after baking to ensure they are golden and delicious.
