Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
  2. Gently clean the mushroom caps and carefully stem them. Finely chop the stems.
  3. In a skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter over medium-high heat. Add chopped mushroom stems and minced garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add fresh baby spinach to the skillet and cook for another 1-2 minutes until wilted.
  5. Reduce heat to low and stir in cream cheese, Italian seasoning, and salt. Mix until creamy and well combined.
  6. Remove from heat and fold in the grated cheddar cheese, adjusting seasoning as necessary.
  7. Spoon the filling into each mushroom cap, pressing gently. Optionally, sprinkle panko breadcrumbs on top.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until mushrooms are tender and tops are golden.
