Notes
Tip: Use a mix of different mushrooms for added flavor and texture.
For variations, feel free to swap the spinach for kale or add chopped sun-dried tomatoes for a tangy twist. If you’re looking for a gluten-free option, ensure your breadcrumbs are certified gluten-free.
To store leftovers, place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes to restore their deliciousness.
