- 1 pound white button or cremini mushrooms
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small shallot, minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 10 ounces frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
- 4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs (Panko recommended)
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Pinch of salt
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
- Clean the mushrooms gently with a damp cloth. Carefully remove the stems. Finely chop the stems and set them aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Sauté the minced shallot and chopped mushroom stems until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a medium bowl, combine the cooled sautéed mixture, squeezed dry spinach, crumbled feta cheese, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, pepper, and salt. Mix until everything is evenly combined.
- Spoon the filling mixture evenly into the mushroom caps, mounding it slightly.
- Place the stuffed mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is lightly golden brown.
Notes
- Squeeze the thawed spinach very dry; excess moisture makes the filling watery.
- If you prefer a crispier top, sprinkle a few extra breadcrumbs over the filling before baking.
- You can substitute goat cheese for half of the feta for a tangier flavor.
- Prepare the filling up to one day ahead and store it covered in the refrigerator. Stuff the mushrooms just before baking.
