- 4 cups Fresh baby spinach Frozen spinach can be used; thaw and drain excess moisture.
- 1 cup Marinated artichoke hearts, chopped Fresh artichokes can be cooked and used as an alternative.
- 8 oz Cream cheese, softened Neufchâtel cheese can work for a lighter option.

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C).
- Remove stems from mushrooms and set caps aside on a baking sheet, gill side up.
- Chop stems finely.
- Brush caps lightly with olive oil and season with salt.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add chopped mushroom stems and cook for 2-3 minutes until tender.
- Add fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 3 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed spinach mixture with cream cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan, chopped artichokes, and Italian seasoning.
- Stir until well incorporated and creamy.
Baking
- Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, fill each mushroom cap generously with the filling.
- Bake stuffed mushrooms in the preheated oven for 15 minutes until filling is bubbly and mushrooms are tender.
- For extra browning, broil for 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
Notes
Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easy mixing. Don't overcrowd the baking sheet to allow for even cooking. Experiment with different cheese blends for a unique flavor profile. Chop the filling ingredients finely for better distribution and texture. Keep an eye on the broiler; it can burn the mushrooms quickly if left unattended.
