Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter divided
  • 16 ounces of mushroom baby Bella or button
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 scallions finely minced (greens only)
  • 1 cup finely chopped baby spinach packed
  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened to room temperature
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Salt and pepper
  • cup panko bread crumbs
  • ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley plus more

Instructions

  • PREP: Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 375ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside. Wipe the mushrooms with a damp paper towel. Remove the stems from the mushroom caps and finely mince them.
  • SAUTE: Melt 1 tbsp of butter in saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the stems and saute for 3 minutes, stirring often. Then add the garlic and continue to cook for another 45 seconds. Remove from heat. Allow the stems to come to room temperature.
  • COMBINE: Add the scallions, baby spinach, cream cheese, red pepper flakes, ¼ teaspoon kosher salt, and black pepper into the mushroom stems and mix until thoroughly combined. Taste and adjust with more seasonings as needed.
  • FILL: Line the caps on the prepared baking sheet. Then fill each cap with a spoonful of cream cheese mixture.
  • TOP: In a bowl, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter. Add the panko and stir to combine. Add the parmesan, garlic powder, a pinch of salt, and parsley. Top each mushroom cap with this panko mixture.
  • BAKE: Bake the caps in a preheated oven for 14-19 minutes or until the mushroom caps are cooked and the breadcrumbs are golden. You can broil the caps for the last 30-45 seconds to make them golden if you’d like. Top with more parsley and serve warm!
