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 clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth and remove the stems. Set the caps aside and finely chop the stems.

    Cook the Spinach: In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, approximately 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

      Mix the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sautéed spinach, cream cheese, grated Parmesan, chopped mushroom stems, breadcrumbs, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.

        Stuff the Mushrooms: Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the mushroom caps. Using a spoon, generously fill each portobello mushroom cap with the spinach and cheese mixture, pressing down slightly to pack it in.

          Bake: Place 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 mushrooms are tender.

            Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve warm as an appetizer or a delightful side dish!
