Spinach and Cheese Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms are a delightful vegetarian dish that combines the earthy flavors of portobello mushrooms with a creamy spinach and cheese filling. This recipe is perfect as a main course or a hearty side dish.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 large portobello mushroom caps, stems and gills removed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 6 ounces fresh spinach, chopped
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare the Mushrooms: Place the mushroom caps on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Bake for 10 minutes to soften.
  3. Prepare the Filling: In a skillet, sauté the minced garlic in a bit of olive oil until fragrant. Add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly. In a bowl, mix the sautéed spinach, cream cheese, Parmesan, mozzarella, and panko breadcrumbs. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Stuff the Mushrooms: Remove the partially baked mushrooms from the oven. Spoon the spinach and cheese mixture into each mushroom cap, pressing down gently to pack the filling.
  5. Bake: Return the stuffed mushrooms to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, until the filling is golden and bubbly.
  6. Serve: Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve warm.

Notes

  • Variations: For added flavor, consider mixing in sun-dried tomatoes or artichoke hearts into the filling.
  • Make-Ahead: These stuffed mushrooms can be assembled a day in advance. Store them in the refrigerator and bake just before serving.
