Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). This will ensure that it's nice and hot when it's time to bake your cheesy spinach-filled mushrooms.

Clean the mushrooms

Gently brush any dirt off the Portobello mushrooms using a clean kitchen towel or a damp paper towel. Remove the stems and use a spoon to scrape out the gills, creating a hollow space for the filling.

In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of chopped spinach, 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.

Stuff the mushrooms

Fill each Portobello mushroom cap with the spinach and cheese mixture, pressing it down gently to make sure it's tightly packed. Feel free to be generous with the filling!

5

Bake and add extra cheese

Place the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly. For an extra cheesy touch, sprinkle some additional mozzarella on top during the last few minutes of baking.

Serve and enjoy

Remove the mushrooms from the oven, let them cool slightly, and then serve while they're still warm. These cheesy spinach-stuffed Portobello mushrooms make a delicious appetizer or a hearty side dish. Enjoy!
