Ingredients

12 large cremini mushrooms approx. 12-14 ounces total
1 tbsp unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic
2 3/4 cups fresh baby spinach
4 oz cream cheese
1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1/4 tsp dried basil
1/4 tsp salt (optional)
1/8 tsp black pepper
1/8 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
2 tbsp panko breadcrumbs
2 tbsp freshly grated parmesan cheese

Steps

Heat the oven to 400 F and grease a baking dish with butter.
Wipe the mushrooms clean, remove the stems, and place the caps in the dish.
Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat, then cook the garlic and spinach until wilted, about 3 minutes.
Stir in the cream cheese, one-quarter cup Parmesan, basil, salt, pepper, and red pepper until combined.
Fill the mushroom caps with the spinach mixture and sprinkle them with the remaining Parmesan and panko.
Bake for 15 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and the topping is lightly browned.
