Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large Portobello mushroom caps
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces fresh spinach, chopped
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Gently wipe the mushroom caps clean. Remove the stems and carefully scrape out the dark gills using a spoon.
- Lightly brush the outside of the mushroom caps with olive oil. Place them gill-side up on a baking sheet.
- Heat the remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onion until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
- Add the spinach to the skillet. Cook until the spinach wilts down completely. Remove the skillet from the heat.
- In a bowl, combine the cooked spinach mixture, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly combined.
- Spoon the cheese and spinach mixture evenly into the hollowed-out Portobello mushroom caps, mounding it slightly.
- Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the stuffing is lightly golden brown on top.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy this wonderful dish!
Notes
- If you prefer a richer flavor, you can substitute Gruyere cheese for some of the Parmesan.
- For a bit of texture, add 1/4 cup of toasted pine nuts to the stuffing mixture.
- Make sure the spinach is well-drained before mixing it with the cheese to prevent a watery filling.
