- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Carefully remove the stems from the Portobello mushrooms and gently scrape out any gills using a spoon.
- Brush both sides of each mushroom cap with olive oil and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.

Notes
Storage: Store any leftover stuffed Portobello mushrooms in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For best results, keep the filling and mushrooms separate if possible to maintain texture.
Reheating: To reheat, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and place the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet. Bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through and the top is slightly crispy. Alternatively, you can microwave them for 1-2 minutes, but this may result in a softer texture.
Serving: Serve the spinach and cheese stuffed Portobello mushrooms as a delicious appetizer or a main dish. Pair them with a light salad or crusty bread to complement the rich flavors. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or basil for an added touch.
Chef’s Tip: For an extra crunch, broil the stuffed mushrooms for the last 2-3 minutes of baking. This will brown the Panko breadcrumbs and create a delightful texture contrast against the creamy filling.
