Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large portobello mushroom caps (stems and gills removed)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 cups fresh spinach (roughly chopped)
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (plus extra for garnish)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Brush both sides of the mushroom caps with olive oil and place them gill-side up on the baking sheet. Bake for about 10 minutes until they start to release water.
  3. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the remaining olive oil and sauté minced garlic and chopped onion until softened (about 3-4 minutes).
  4. Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted (approximately 2-3 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  5. In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed mixture with ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan, salt, pepper, and optional nutmeg; mix well.
  6. Spoon the filling evenly into each mushroom cap and top with shredded mozzarella.
  7. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  8. Garnish with extra Parmesan before serving.
