Greek Yogurt and Walnut Stuffed Mushrooms

Servings: 4

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup dried mushrooms, rehydrated and chopped (or fresh mushrooms)
• 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
• 1/4 cup walnuts, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup almond flour (for topping)
• 2 tbsp hemp hearts (optional, for topping)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Prepare the mushrooms

Rehydrate the dried mushrooms by soaking them in warm water for about 10 minutes, then chop them into bite-sized pieces. If using fresh mushrooms, skip the rehydration step.

3. Prepare the filling

In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, finely chopped walnuts, and rehydrated mushrooms. Mix well until evenly combined.

4. Stuff the mushrooms

Carefully scoop the yogurt and walnut filling into the mushroom caps, packing them tightly.

5. Prepare the topping

In a separate bowl, mix the almond flour and hemp hearts (if using) and sprinkle the mixture over the stuffed mushrooms.

6. Bake

Arrange the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15–20 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and the mushrooms are tender.

7. Serve

Serve immediately as an appetizer or side dish.
