Instructions
Preparation Steps
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly brush the portobello mushroom caps with olive oil and place them on a baking sheet, gill-side up.
In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and breadcrumbs. Stir in the wilted spinach and garlic mixture. Season with salt and pepper.
Spoon the spinach and cheese filling generously into each portobello mushroom cap.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is golden brown and bubbly.
Let cool slightly before serving.
