These stuffed portobello mushrooms turn creamy, cheesy spinach artichoke dip into a delicious and satisfying meal.

I love spinach artichoke dip! It is one of my favorite go-to appetizers. Warm and gooey cheese with lots of spinach and artichokes - what's not to love! So, it goes without saying that I am so excited about this recipe! I stuffed large portobello mushrooms with spinach artichoke dip, turning this popular dip into the main feature of your meal.
Portobello mushrooms
Portobello mushrooms are the perfect vehicle to hold this creamy dip. They are large and can hold lots of filling. Portobellos have a meaty texture which makes them satisfying for both meat-eaters and vegetarians alike.
Cleaning portobello mushrooms is quick and easy. Use a damp paper towel to brush off any dirt from the surface of the mushrooms. Mushrooms should never be washed because they will absorb too much water and become soggy. To clean the underside of the mushrooms, twist off the stem and, using a spoon, scrape out the gills. The mushrooms are now ready to be stuffed.
Filling
This spinach artichoke dip starts with shallots, artichoke hearts, and spinach. Cream cheese and Swiss cheese add the creamy, cheesy components. Lemon juice adds the perfect balance of acidity. Spoon the filling into each portobello cap. Top with more Swiss cheese, Parmesan cheese, and breadcrumbs. Bake until mushrooms are tender and the filling is bubbly and golden brown.
Serving
Serve these stuffed mushrooms with a green salad for dinner or pair with a fruit salad for brunch. For hearty appetites, serve the mushrooms as a side dish with beef, chicken, pork or fish.
