I love mushrooms. I love my moms stuffed mushrooms with all their full fat cream cheese and cheddar cheese glory. I love portobello mushrooms because you can cram so much more in there! I also like them grilled to replace a hamburger. They are actually quite yummy saute and put on a whole grain bun with some seasoning. But, I’m getting ahead of myself. We have a little while before it gets to be grill season here in Michigan. Bummer.
The other day I was scoping out the clearance section at my local market. I love these little nooks because I always find something on super sale that I can try without paying full price. On this particular day I spotted some Greek yogurt whipped spread. I’m not really following Weight Watchers, but I tend to go back to my roots and weight my options based on points. This was only 1 points plus value. Not too bad for one serving. It was also low in carbs and sugars which thrilled me even more.
I had also picked up these portobello mushrooms on clearance for a buck. I knew what I was going to have for lunch!
This was really easy to make. I washed the mushrooms and pulled out the stems. I went ahead and placed them on the pan. No sense in wasting it! I took some of the Greek whipped spread and sprinkled in a little garlic powder with parsley. Mixed it up and spread it on the underside of the mushrooms (where you took the stem out.) Then, I topped it with 2% low-fat cheddar cheese.
Baked and ate.
- 2 portobello mushrooms
- 4 tbsp Greek yogurt whipped spread
- ¼ C 2% shredded cheddar
- garlic powder
- parsley
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Pull out the mushroom stems and place them on a baking sheet. Place the mushrooms so that they would be stem side up.
- In a small dish combine your Greek whipped yogurt spread with the garlic (to your taste) and parsley (to your liking.)
- Mix well.
- Spread over the mushrooms.
- Top each mushroom with ⅛ c shredded cheddar cheese.
- Bake for 7-10min or until mushroom is soft and cheese is warm and melted.
Tell me about your favorite mushroom recipes.
My mom and husband would love these. (I’m not a huge mushroom person.) I’m definitely sharing this with my husband, though. I know he’d love to try it.
I hope he likes them if you guys make them.
I am all for cutting calories when I can. My kids are fussy and won’t eat these, but they are perfect for a date night at home 🙂
Kids dont know what they are missing out on! 😉
That’s a twist I hadn’t thought of! I do low carb and don’t worry about the fat so much, so I could even do your mom’s recipe with the cream cheese and cheddar. I haven’t heard of either. Thanks so much for sharing! Pinning this for later.
She uses regular cream cheese with cheddar cheese shredded mixed with a little garlic and onion powders. She mixes that all up and puts it on the mushrooms. Then, she tops with more shredded cheese. Sometimes she mixes it up and uses cheddar with mozzarella.
Not too long ago I feared the mushroom until one day I HAD TO, yes HAD TO try one on my pizza. It was so freaking good. I say HAD TO because my 8 year old was challenged to do it. Glad it happened.
Funny how things like that happened. That’s exactly what happened with me and avocados. Now I can’t get enough!
oh man. I could eat one (or three) a day.
I looooove mushrooms on my pizza. My favorite pizza is green olives, black olives, mushrooms, artichoke hearts (if that place has them) and if I want some meat its ham.
I love stuffed mushrooms and these sound so good! I will have to try this recipe out!
I hope you like it.
Thanks for this great take on stuffed mushrooms. They’re one of my favorite dishes to make.
You are welcome !
That looks fantastic! I usually make stuffed button mushrooms as a side, but a couple of these portobellos would make a meal!
They made a great lunch for me since my husband and kiddo hate mushrooms.
I love mushrooms too
This is so appetizing. I am planning your recipe for dinner
#nomnom right? 😉

When I read the word mushrooms, I knew my husband would love these. I continued reading and was proved right.
Yah!
Thanks for the recipe. I need to make this for my husband he loves mushrooms. It looks really good.
You are welcome!
I love, love, love stuffed mushrooms. I’m definitely going to be trying this skinny version of them!
I hope you like them!
Stuffed mushrooms are the best. I’ve got to try these since they seem pretty low in calories!
I love using the big mushroom caps for meals.
I love mushrooms. They are so healthy for you too.
I agree! I am so glad my mother introduced all these foods to me when I was younger.
Ooh, these look yummy! No one at my house eats mushrooms besides me though.
Same here!
I’m not a huge mushroom fan, but just sometimes they take my fancy and these sound like a must try when I’m in such a mood. x
I am not a huge fan of mushrooms. Maybe I will try this recipe anyway, because it sure looks yummy!
Can you believe I’ve never had a portobello mushroom!? I guess it’s time to change that.
I have never really cooked with mushrooms before but this recipe really looks easy and delicious. I’ll have to give it a try!
Gotta love a cheap lunch! Great recipe! I can’t wait to try it!
I am such a big fan of stuffed mushrooms, these looks super yummy!

I would totally eat this for lent! I love portabella mushrooms
Wow, this is amazing. I love that you added Greek Yogurt. It must be delicious
Oh Yumm. Love mushrooms. This looks so good.
I am definitely a fan of mushrooms–whether I just cut them up raw in a salad or stuff them–I never heard of Greek whipped spread before. I will have to find it and try it out. I will use it in this recipe with Portabella mushrooms!!
We love mushrooms here. I am going to have to try the stuffed recipe soon! Thanks for sharing!
These sound great! Always up for another excuse to have mushrooms!
That looks so good! I love stuffed mushrooms and sounds healthy too. Yum!
These look so delicious. I will have to try making them this weekend. I love to fry up mushrooms and onions to top things with.
I love stuffed mushrooms–I just had them for lunch today. Portobellos are even better.
Ohhh, I love mushrooms! My husband has a stuffed mushroom recipe that is one of my all time favs of his. This one sounds good too!
I love mushrooms and these look really good.
That’s fun that you use it to grill in place of a hamburger. I wonder if my crew would like it here. Can’t hurt to try!
I’ve never been a mushroom person, but throwing cheese on them would be the way I’d like it.
Love skinny mushroom recipes. Mushrooms are so good for you! My husband would love this recipe.
Oh those stuffed mushrooms looks and sounds super delicious. I’ve never stuffed one before so would love to give your recipe a try.
