# What You'll Need:

01 - 24 large white or cremini mushrooms, stems removed and cleaned

→ Filling

02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
03 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
04 - 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
05 - 1 cup canned artichoke hearts, drained and finely chopped
06 - 4 ounces cream cheese, softened

# How to Prepare:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
02 - Clean mushroom caps and gently remove stems. Set caps aside. Finely chop half of the stems for the filling and discard or save the remainder.
03 - Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté garlic and chopped mushroom stems for 2 minutes until fragrant.
04 - Add chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Stir in chopped artichokes and cook for 1 more minute. Remove from heat.
05 - Combine cream cheese, Parmesan, mozzarella, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes in a bowl until smooth.
06 - Fold the cooked spinach and artichoke mixture into the cheese blend until thoroughly combined.
07 - Spoon the filling generously into each mushroom cap and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
08 - Mix breadcrumbs with melted butter and sprinkle evenly over the stuffed mushrooms.
09 - Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until mushrooms are tender and the topping is golden brown.
10 - Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They look fancy but come together faster than you'd think, even on a weeknight.
  • The creamy filling tastes indulgent without feeling heavy, and everyone asks for the recipe.
  • You can prep them hours ahead and just pop them in the oven when guests arrive.
02 -
  • Make sure to squeeze the artichoke hearts dry, I learned this after my first batch turned soupy and slid right off the mushrooms.
  • Soften the cream cheese completely or you'll end up with stubborn lumps no amount of stirring will fix.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet, the mushrooms need a little space to release moisture and crisp up properly.
03 -
  • Use a small spoon or cookie scoop to fill the mushrooms evenly, it keeps them looking uniform and helps them cook at the same rate.
  • If the filling feels too thick, stir in a teaspoon of the artichoke liquid to loosen it just enough to spoon easily.
  • For extra richness, brush the mushroom caps lightly with olive oil before filling them.
