  • Author: Amelia
  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings (2 mushrooms per serving) 1x

Ingredients

Scale

For the Mushrooms

  • 8 large portobello mushrooms
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

For the Filling

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, finely diced
  • 1 zucchini, finely diced
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

For the Topping

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs (optional, for added crunch)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Mushrooms

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Clean the portobello mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp cloth. Remove the stems and scoop out the gills with a spoon to create space for the filling.
  3. Brush the mushrooms on both sides with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper. Place them gill-side up on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 2: Cook the Filling

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until softened.
  2. Add the red bell pepper and zucchini, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
  3. Stir in the chopped spinach, minced garlic, oregano, basil, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the spinach is wilted and the garlic is fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3: Stuff the Mushrooms

  1. Divide the vegetable mixture evenly among the prepared mushroom caps, pressing the filling down gently to compact it.
  2. Top each stuffed mushroom with a generous layer of mozzarella cheese, followed by Parmesan cheese. If using breadcrumbs, sprinkle them over the top for added crunch.

Step 4: Bake the Mushrooms

  1. Bake the stuffed mushrooms in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown.
  2. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
