  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large portobello mushroom caps
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic (minced)
  • 1/2 cup onion (finely chopped)
  • 2 cups fresh spinach (roughly chopped)
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

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