# Ingredient List:

→ Mushrooms

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
07 - 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
08 - 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
09 - 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
10 - 1/4 teaspoon salt

→ Topping

12 - 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
13 - 1 tablespoon melted butter

# Directions:

01 - Preheat the 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 the stems for the filling; discard or reserve the rest.
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 to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Stir in chopped artichoke hearts and cook for an additional minute. Remove from heat.
05 - In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese, grated Parmesan, shredded mozzarella, salt, ground black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes until smooth.
06 - Fold the cooked spinach and artichoke mixture into the cheese mixture until thoroughly combined.
07 - Spoon the filling generously into each mushroom cap and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
08 - Combine 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 the stuffed mushrooms to cool for 5 minutes before serving.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • They taste like the best part of spinach artichoke dip, but you can pick them up with your fingers and they feel fancy.
  • The filling comes together in one bowl, and you can prep everything hours ahead if you need to.
  • Even people who claim they don't like mushrooms always grab seconds because the creamy filling wins them over.
02 -
  • Don't skip softening the cream cheese, I once tried mixing it straight from the fridge and ended up with lumps that never smoothed out.
  • Pat the artichokes dry before chopping them, otherwise the filling gets runny and slides right out of the caps.
  • If your mushrooms release a lot of water while baking, it just means they were very fresh, let them cool an extra minute and the liquid will reabsorb.
03 -
  • Use a small spoon or cookie scoop to fill the mushrooms evenly, it makes them look professional and ensures every bite is perfectly balanced.
  • If the filling seems too thick, add a teaspoon of the liquid from the artichoke jar, it loosens everything without diluting the flavor.
  • Bake them on the top rack for the last 5 minutes if you want an extra-crispy golden top, just watch closely so they don't burn.
