Ingredients
  

  • 4 portobello mushrooms large, remove stems and gills
  • 2 cups fresh spinach or greens
  • 1 onion small, diced
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella or parmesan divided
  • 3 tablespoon olive oil divided
  • 0.75 cup breadcrumbs panko or regular
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoon fresh parsley or thyme chopped
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Oven Preheat to 375°F for baking mushrooms
  • Skillet For sautéing onions, garlic, and spinach
  • Mixing bowl Mix stuffing ingredients
  • Baking sheet Bake stuffed mushrooms
  • Paper towels Dry mushroom caps before oiling

Method
 

  1. Remove stems and scrape out gills with a spoon. Pat caps dry with paper towels for 2 minutes. Brush each cap inside and out with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Sprinkle salt inside each cap.
    4 portobello mushrooms, 3 tbsp olive oil, salt
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook 3-4 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant. Toss in spinach and cook 2-3 minutes until fully wilted. Remove from heat.
    1 onion, 3 tbsp olive oil, 3 cloves garlic, 2 cups fresh spinach
  3. Transfer sautéed vegetables to a mixing bowl. Add breadcrumbs, half the cheese, chopped herbs, salt, and black pepper. Stir until evenly combined. Mixture should hold together when pressed but not be wet.
    0.75 cup breadcrumbs, 1 cup shredded mozzarella or parmesan, 2 tbsp fresh parsley or thyme, salt, black pepper
  4. Place mushroom caps gill-side up on a baking sheet. Fill each cap ⅔ full with stuffing mixture, pressing down gently. Top with remaining cheese. Avoid overfilling.

  5. Bake at 375°F for 20-25 minutes until caps shrink slightly and filling turns golden brown. If topping isn’t crispy, broil for 2 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Dry mushrooms thoroughly before oiling to prevent sogginess.
  • Do not overstuff the caps; filling should be ⅔ full to cook evenly.
  • Rest for 5 minutes after baking to allow filling to set.
