Main Ingredients
- 4 large Portobello mushrooms, stems removed and cleaned
- 4 oz (110g) cream cheese, softened
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (such as mozzarella or cheddar)
- Salt, to taste
- Ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the mushrooms: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Remove the stems from the Portobello mushrooms and gently clean the caps with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt.
- Make the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, minced garlic, chopped spinach, shredded cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Stuff the mushrooms: Spoon the cream cheese mixture evenly into each mushroom cap, pressing the filling gently to ensure it stays in place.
- Bake the mushrooms: Place the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is golden and bubbly.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving as an appetizer or side dish.
Notes
- You can add herbs like parsley or basil to the filling for extra flavor.
- Substitute cream cheese with a dairy-free alternative to make it vegan-friendly.
- The mushrooms can be grilled instead of baked, but baking ensures even cooking and melting of the cheese.
- To make it richer, sprinkle a bit more shredded cheese on top before baking.
- Make sure to clean the mushrooms gently to avoid breaking the caps.
