Ingredients
  

Mushrooms
  • 16 large button mushrooms stems removed and chopped
Filling
  • 2 cups fresh spinach chopped
  • 1 cup feta cheese crumbled
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese softened
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese grated
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Topping
  • 1/4 cup bread crumbs for topping
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for drizzling

Method
 

Prepare the Mushrooms
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Clean the button mushrooms with a damp cloth and remove the stems. Finely chop the stems and set them aside.
Make the Filling
  1. In a large skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped mushroom stems and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they are soft.
  2. Add the minced garlic and chopped spinach to the skillet, cooking until the spinach is wilted, about 2 minutes.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed spinach mixture with crumbled feta cheese, softened cream cheese, grated parmesan cheese, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is combined.
Stuff the Mushrooms
  1. Using a spoon, fill each mushroom cap generously with the spinach and feta mixture.
  2. Place the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. Sprinkle the tops with bread crumbs and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Bake and Serve
  1. Bake the stuffed mushrooms in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
  2. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving warm.

Notes

These stuffed mushrooms can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator until ready to bake. For a spicier kick, consider adding crushed red pepper flakes to the filling.
