Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 16 large white or cremini mushrooms, stems removed and finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 1/2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line with parchment paper.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the garlic and onion until fragrant and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the chopped mushroom stems and spinach. Cook until the spinach is wilted and moisture has evaporated, around 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in cream cheese, Parmesan, and mozzarella until melted and creamy. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
- Spoon the filling generously into each mushroom cap and place them in the prepared dish.
- In a small bowl, mix panko with melted butter. Sprinkle evenly over the stuffed mushrooms.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until tops are golden brown and mushrooms are tender.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute frozen spinach (thawed and drained) for fresh spinach.
- Use different cheeses like goat cheese or feta for variation.
- Great as an appetizer or side dish for parties and dinners.
