Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Large white or cremini mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 3 cups Fresh spinach
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 cups Italian-style breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tablespoon Butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel and remove the stems. Finely chop the stems and set them aside.
Arrange the mushroom caps hollow side up on a greased baking sheet. Lightly brush them with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped mushroom stems and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Mince the garlic and add it to the skillet. Cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
In a bowl, combine the spinach mixture with cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, and a pinch of salt and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Stuff each mushroom cap with the spinach and cheese mixture, pressing down lightly to fill evenly.
Top each stuffed mushroom with a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese.
Melt the butter and drizzle it over the prepared mushrooms for an added golden crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the cheese on top is bubbly and golden.
Serve warm as an appetizer or side dish. Enjoy!
