How to Make Lite Stuffed Mushrooms

  2. Clean and remove stems from 1 pound of mushrooms (cremini, portabello, or a mix). Roughly chop the stems.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine 8 ounces of cottage cheese, 1 tablespoon of chopped jalapeño (optional), 1 clove minced garlic (optional), 1/4 cup of chopped mushroom stems, 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley, and salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Spoon the cottage cheese mixture generously into each mushroom cap.
  5. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper or chili powder (optional).
  6. Place the stuffed mushrooms in a baking dish.
  7. Broil for 5-7 minutes, or until the cottage cheese is bubbly and lightly browned. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy!
