Now we get to the fun part, friend.

Following these steps brings flavor to life.

I’ll guide you through every stage here.

We want tender mushrooms and bubbly tops.

Let’s get baking!

Prepping the Portobellos and Sautéing Aromatics

First, get your oven hot to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Lightly brush your mushroom caps with that olive oil.

Place them on your baking sheet gill-side up.

Next, warm the rest of the oil in a small skillet.

Sauté the minced shallot until it looks soft.

This takes about three minutes on medium heat.

Add your garlic and cook for just one minute more.

You want it fragrant, not burnt, okay?

Remove the skillet from the heat right away.

Mixing the Flavorful Spinach Artichoke Filling

Grab a medium bowl for mixing everything.

Combine the dried spinach and chopped artichokes.

Add the softened cream cheese and Parmesan cheese.

Stir in the mayonnaise, salt, and pepper too.

Mix this very well until it looks creamy.

Remember that dry spinach note from before?

It keeps this filling from getting too wet.

Now, stir in your sautéed shallot and garlic mix.

Make sure everything is fully combined evenly.

Time to fill those mushroom beds.

Spoon the mixture into each portobello cap.

Press the filling down gently with your spoon.

Sprinkle the tops with mozzarella cheese next.

Add an extra dusting of Parmesan cheese on top.
