Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh spinach
- 2 cups cremini or button mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes (optional)
- 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish and set aside.
Rinse and dry the fresh spinach leaves. Chop them coarsely and set aside.
Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth and slice them thinly.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and become golden brown.
Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove the skillet from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, dried thyme, salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Mix until smooth.
Fold the cooked spinach and mushroom mixture into the cheese mixture until evenly combined.
Spoon the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
In a small bowl, mix together the panko breadcrumbs and melted butter. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the spinach and mushroom mixture in the baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the dish is hot and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
