Spinach Ricotta Stuffed Mushrooms

Ingredients

8 ounces frozen spinach, thawed and drained
2 tbsp butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and pepper
1/2 cup whole milk ricotta
1/2 cup grated parmesan
24 medium cremini or button mushrooms, stems removed

Instructions

Squeeze as much moisture as possible out of the spinach. Preheat the oven to 350F.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the spinach and garlic. Season with salt and pepper, and sauté 3 minutes.
Transfer the spinach mixture to a medium bowl and stir in the ricotta and Parmesan until well combined.
Place the mushroom caps with the cavities facing up in a large glass or ceramic baking dish and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spoon the filling into the caps, pressing in firmly to fill them and mounding slightly on top.
Bake 18 to 22 minutes, until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is bubbly and lightly browned.
