Tender mushroom caps filled with creamy spinach, artichokes, and cheeses baked to golden brown.

# What You Need:

→ Mushrooms

01 - 24 large white or cremini mushrooms, stems removed and cleaned

→ Filling

02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
03 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
04 - 60 grams fresh spinach, chopped
05 - 130 grams canned artichoke hearts, drained and finely chopped
06 - 115 grams cream cheese, softened
07 - 60 grams grated Parmesan cheese
08 - 60 grams shredded mozzarella cheese
09 - 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
10 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
11 - 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

→ Topping

12 - 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
13 - 1 tablespoon melted butter

# How-To:

01 - Set oven to 375°F and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing.
02 - Clean mushroom caps and gently remove stems. Finely chop half of the stems for later use in the filling; discard or save the rest.
03 - Warm olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Sauté garlic and chopped mushroom stems for 2 minutes until fragrant.
04 - Add chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Stir in chopped artichoke hearts and cook for an additional minute. Remove from heat.
05 - In a mixing bowl, blend cream cheese, Parmesan, mozzarella, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes until smooth.
06 - Fold the sautéed spinach-artichoke mixture into the cheese blend until fully combined.
07 - Spoon the filling generously into each mushroom cap and arrange them evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
08 - Combine breadcrumbs with melted butter, then sprinkle the mixture evenly over the stuffed mushrooms.
09 - Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until mushrooms are tender and the topping is golden brown.
10 - Allow the mushrooms to cool for 5 minutes before serving to enhance flavors.

# Insider Tips:

01 -
  • They look fancy but come together faster than you'd think, leaving you time to actually enjoy your guests.
  • The creamy spinach and artichoke filling tastes like your favorite dip, only better because it's tucked inside a tender mushroom.
  • You can prep them hours ahead and just pop them in the oven when people arrive.
02 -
  • If your cream cheese is cold, the filling will be lumpy and hard to mix, leave it on the counter for at least 30 minutes before you start.
  • Don't skip draining the artichokes well, extra liquid will make the filling watery and it won't hold its shape in the caps.
  • Overstuffing is actually a good thing here, the filling shrinks slightly as it bakes and a generous heap looks more impressive.
03 -
  • Use a small spoon or cookie scoop to fill the caps evenly, it saves time and makes them look uniform.
  • If the mushrooms release a lot of liquid while baking, tilt the tray slightly and blot it up with a paper towel before serving so they don't get soggy.
  • Leftover filling is incredible stirred into scrambled eggs or spread on toast the next morning.
