Ingredients

• Large Portobello mushrooms - 4
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic, minced - 2 cloves
• Onion, finely chopped - 1/2 medium
• Bell pepper, finely chopped - 1/2 medium
• Zucchini, grated - 1/2 medium
• Spinach, chopped - 1 cup (packed)
• Cream cheese, softened - 100 grams
• Parmesan cheese, grated - 30 grams
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Bread crumbs - 1/4 cup
• Fresh parsley, chopped - 2 tablespoons

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).
2. Clean the Portobello mushrooms and carefully remove the stems, setting them aside.
3. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion, sautéing until translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Add the chopped bell pepper and grated zucchini to the skillet, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes until softened.
5. Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
6. In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed vegetables with the softened cream cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley. Mix well until everything is evenly incorporated.
7. Fill each Portobello mushroom cap generously with the vegetable and cheese filling, pressing down slightly to pack it in.
8. Sprinkle the bread crumbs evenly over the stuffed mushrooms for added texture.
9. Place the filled mushrooms on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the tops are golden brown.
10. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
