Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

12 large white mushrooms
1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Clean the mushroom caps with a damp cloth and remove the stems. Set the caps aside.
In a skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted. Remove from heat.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked spinach and garlic with the cream cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix until well combined.
Stuff each mushroom cap with the spinach-cheese mixture, pressing down slightly to pack it in.
Arrange the stuffed mushroom caps on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Brush the remaining melted butter over the tops of the stuffed mushrooms.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the cheese is bubbly and golden. Serve warm.

Notes

Leftovers: Store any uneaten mushrooms in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven to retain their texture.

For a healthier spin, you can substitute the cream cheese with Greek yogurt. If you’re looking for a twist, try adding cooked bacon or sun-dried tomatoes to the filling for extra flavor. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days, and reheat in the oven for a few minutes to enjoy them warm again.

Be careful not to overcook the mushrooms; you want them tender but still holding their shape. Feel free to experiment with different cheeses like feta or mozzarella for unique flavor profiles.
