How do you lighten up spinach artichoke dip? Use it to fill mushroom cups instead of dredging bread into it. The result is an easy vegetarian party appetizer.

Ingredients

3 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
3/4 teaspoon garlic salt
1 can (14 ounces) water-packed artichoke hearts, rinsed, drained and chopped
1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1/3 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
3 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese
30 to 35 large fresh mushrooms, stems removed
Additional shredded Parmesan cheese

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°. Mix first 4 ingredients. Stir in artichoke hearts, spinach, mozzarella cheese and 3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese.
Place mushrooms on foil-lined baking sheets, stem side up. Spoon about 1 tablespoon filling into each. Top with additional Parmesan cheese. Bake until mushrooms are tender, 16-20 minutes.
