What you will need
This recipe uses 6 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:
- 4 large portobello mushroom caps stems removed
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 2 cups fresh spinach finely chopped
- 0.25 cup sun-dried tomatoes chopped
- 0.5 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Mushroom Caps
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Brush the portobello caps on both sides with olive oil and place them gill-side up on the prepared sheet.
Step 2: Make the Filling
In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta, chopped spinach, and sun-dried tomatoes, then season with salt and pepper. Stir until everything is evenly distributed.
Step 3: Fill and Top the Mushrooms
Spoon the ricotta mixture generously into each mushroom cap and press it gently to fill the cavity. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella evenly over the top of each stuffed cap.
Step 4: Bake Until Golden
Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and the cheese is melted and lightly golden on top. Serve immediately with a fresh green salad.
Easy substitutions
Missing an ingredient? Here are some swaps that work perfectly:
- ricotta cheese → cream cheese softened to room temperature
- fresh spinach → frozen spinach that has been thawed and squeezed dry
Common mistakes to avoid
Watch out for these pitfalls that can affect your results:
- Not patting the mushroom caps dry which leads to a watery filling during baking
- Overfilling the caps so the filling spills out and burns on the baking sheet
