Ingredients

• Portobello mushrooms - 2 large
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Red bell pepper - 1/2, diced
• Zucchini - 1/2, diced
• Spinach - 1 cup, chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Onion - 1/2, finely diced
• Cream cheese - 100 grams, softened
• Shredded mozzarella cheese - 75 grams
• Parmesan cheese - 30 grams, grated
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Dried oregano - 1/2 teaspoon
• Fresh parsley - 1 tablespoon, chopped

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. Clean the Portobello mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp cloth. Remove the stems and chop them finely.
3. In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the chopped mushroom stems, onion, garlic, red bell pepper, and zucchini until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Season with salt, black pepper, and oregano. Remove from heat.
5. In a bowl, mix the sautéed vegetables with cream cheese, half of the mozzarella, and half of the Parmesan cheese until well combined.
6. Brush the remaining olive oil on the underside of the Portobello caps and place them on a baking sheet, gill side up.
7. Stuff each mushroom cap with the vegetable and cheese mixture, pressing down lightly to pack it in.
8. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese evenly over the stuffed mushrooms.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
10. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
