These Vegan Tofu Spinach Stuffed Mushrooms are the classic holiday appetizer turned Whole Food Plant-Based.
These mushrooms are creamy and delicious, without using any cream cheese! The secret? Silken tofu.
Silken tofu is a GEM of a food - it makes creamy smoothies and decadent mousse desserts. And, luscious, soft stuffed mushroom filling.
Besides silken tofu, these mushrooms have a simple yet tasty flavor combo: shallots and spinach, with nutritional yeast for cheesy flavor, and GF breadcrumbs for some crunch
These vegan stuffed mushrooms are a healthy party appetizer!
Step 1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Step 2. Carefully remove mushrooms stems, keeping the mushroom caps intact. Discard half of the stems, and finely mince the other half.
Step 3. Add the minced mushroom stems to a skillet over medium heat, along with the shallot, garlic, spinach, salt, and pepper. Cook 5 minutes, until the mushrooms are soft and the spinach is warmed through.
Step 4. Add the tofu and nutritional yeast and stir to combine.
Step 5. Arrange the mushroom caps in a baking dish, cavity side up.
Step 6. Use a cookie scoop or spoon to scoop a tablespoon or so of the spinach tofu mixture into each mushroom cap.
Step 7. Sprinkle the stuffed mushrooms with the breadcrumbs.
Step 8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the mushrooms are soft. Then, turn the oven to broil and cook 5 minutes more until the breadcrumbs are golden brown. Serve immediately.
You can prep and bake these mushrooms before the day you want to serve them.
Follow the instructions as written, except skip adding the breadcrumbs in step 7. Bake for 20 minutes as indicated in step 8, then remove the mushrooms from the oven, let cool, cover, and store.
When ready to serve, sprinkle with breadcrumbs and heat the mushrooms in the oven at 400°F for 5 minutes, then broil for 5 minutes.
If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They'll last up to a week.
Thank you God for these stuffed mushrooms. We are grateful for this food and the people we are enjoying it with. Amen.
