Ingredients
  

12 large portobello mushrooms

2 cups fresh spinach, chopped

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup breadcrumbs (plain or seasoned)

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

2 tablespoons olive oil

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Mushrooms: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Gently wipe each portobello mushroom with a damp cloth to clean. Carefully remove the stems and set the caps aside. Finely chop the stems and set them aside for later use.

    Cook the Spinach: In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant and slightly golden. Mix in the chopped spinach and cook for approximately 2-3 minutes, or until wilted. Remove the skillet from heat and allow the spinach mixture to cool slightly.

      Mix the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sautéed spinach mixture, softened cream cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped mushroom stems, breadcrumbs, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Using a spatula or spoon, combine all the ingredients thoroughly until you have a cohesive filling mixture.

        Stuff the Mushrooms: Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the prepared portobello caps, ensuring they are well coated. Using a spoon, generously fill each mushroom cap with the spinach and cheese filling, pressing down lightly to ensure the filling is well-packed and maintains its shape.

          Bake: Arrange the stuffed mushrooms on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the mushroom caps are tender to the touch.

            Serve: Once thoroughly baked, remove the mushrooms from the oven and let them cool for a minute. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. These savory stuffed mushrooms can be enjoyed warm as an appetizer or as a delightful side dish!
