Ingredients
  

  • For the Stuffed Mushrooms:
  • 18–20 medium white or cremini mushrooms, stems removed and cleaned
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cups fresh spinach leaves, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • ¼ cup cream cheese (softened)
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill or parsley, chopped
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
  • For Topping (optional):
  • 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs (for a light crunch)
  • Drizzle of olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Prepare the Mushrooms : Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Clean mushrooms with a damp cloth and remove stems. Lightly brush each mushroom cap with olive oil and arrange them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
  • Step 2: Make the Spinach Filling : In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add chopped spinach and cook until wilted (2–3 minutes). Transfer to a mixing bowl and allow to cool slightly. Add feta cheese, cream cheese, Parmesan, dill/parsley, salt, pepper, and chili flakes. Mix well until creamy and evenly combined.
  • Step 3: Stuff the Mushrooms : Spoon the spinach-feta mixture into each mushroom cap, pressing lightly to fill. Sprinkle breadcrumbs on top for extra crunch (optional). Drizzle with a little olive oil for a golden finish.
  • Step 4: Bake : Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until mushrooms are tender and tops are slightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
