Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Mixing bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 16 large white mushrooms, stems removed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Arrange the mushroom caps on a baking sheet and drizzle them evenly with the olive oil.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, spinach, garlic, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
  • Spoon the filling into each mushroom cap, pressing gently so it stays in place.
  • Bake the mushrooms for 20 minutes until the tops turn lightly golden and the filling is hot throughout.
  • Remove from the oven and sprinkle the chopped parsley over the tops before serving.

Notes

Prepare the filling up to a day ahead and store it covered in the fridge so assembly goes faster on the day of the party. Use room-temperature cream cheese for easier mixing. If the mushrooms release extra liquid during baking, blot the baking sheet with a paper towel right after they come out.
