Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 24 whole cremini or button mushrooms (about 1 ½ lbs)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 package frozen chopped spinach (10 oz, thawed and squeezed dry)
  • 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a damp paper towel. Gently twist and remove the stems. Finely chop the stems and set aside.
  3. In a medium skillet over medium heat, warm 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chopped mushroom stems, onion, and garlic. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and fragrant. Transfer to a mixing bowl and let cool slightly.
Filling
  1. To the bowl with the cooked mushroom mixture, add the squeezed spinach, cream cheese, Parmesan, mozzarella, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes (if using), and parsley. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
  2. Using a small spoon or your hands, generously fill each mushroom cap with the spinach and cheese mixture, mounding it slightly.
Baking
  1. Arrange the stuffed mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle lightly with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
  2. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is golden brown on top.
  3. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Serve these warm, garnished with an extra sprinkle of fresh parsley or Parmesan. They pair beautifully with a crisp white wine or a light beer. For storage, allow any leftovers to cool completely, then place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for about 10 minutes to restore their texture.
