Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Clean the shiitake mushrooms with a damp paper towel and remove the stems. Gently brush the caps with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and arrange them gill-side up on the prepared baking sheet. Set aside.
In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced shallot and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and sautΓ© for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the chopped spinach and cook for 3-4 minutes until wilted. Reduce the heat to low and mix in the heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.
Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool slightly. Stuff each shiitake cap with a generous spoonful of the spinach mixture, pressing gently to compact it.
In a small bowl, combine the Panko breadcrumbs, remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, parsley, and lemon juice. Toss until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the stuffed shiitake caps.
Bake the mushrooms in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Remove the Shiitake Rockefeller from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes. Serve warm as an appetizer or side dish.
