I tried the Vegetable Wellington on the cover of Vegetarian Times, but wasn't crazy about it so I kept messing around with similar ingredients. I finally came up with this and holy cow, is it delicious! This could be either a main dish or appetizer, depending on the size of the mushrooms. Please forgive me for not having exact amounts, I really just threw stuff in 'to taste.' I'm an inexperienced cook but pulled this off nicely. Any helpful comments are welcome!

4 -6 large mushroom caps (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    In a small bowl, mix cream cheese with some of the prepared pesto. (However much tastes good to you!).
  2. 2
    Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan.
  3. 3
    Add red onions and red peppers, cook until tender.
  4. 4
    Remove from heat. Toss in torn-up spinach leaves, let them wilt.
  5. 5
    While onions and peppers are cooking, brush mushrooms with olive oil.
  6. 6
    Add a nice sized dollop of cream cheese mixture, and then a spoonful of veggie mixture to each mushroom.
  7. 7
    Roast mushrooms 10 minutes or so until they look and smell impressive! :)
  8. 8
    Add a square of smoked gouda on top, cook a few more minutes until melted.
  9. 9
    Enjoy!

My daughter and I cooked this and we both thought this was wonderful. Easy and inexpensive gourmet meal that would be a treat for guests. It would be easier to place the mushrooms on a piece of aluminum foil before placing on the grill and it would probably not affect the flavor. Thanks so much for sharing this.
