Ingredients
  • 12 Large cremini mushrooms
  • 10 oz Frozen spinach
  • 4 oz Feta cheese
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 1/4 Onion
  • 1/4 cup Breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dried oregano
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Black pepper

Preparing the Spinach

Thaw the frozen spinach and squeeze out as much excess water as possible. This is crucial to prevent the stuffed mushrooms from becoming soggy.

Preparing the Mushrooms

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Gently remove the stems from the mushrooms. Set the caps aside and finely chop the stems.

Making the Filling

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the chopped mushroom stems and cook for another 3 minutes.

Add the spinach, feta cheese, breadcrumbs, oregano, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Mix well to combine.

Stuffing and Baking

Spoon the spinach mixture into the mushroom caps, packing it firmly. Place the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.
