  • 2 tablespoons minced shallot (1 small)
  • 1 green onion

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Bake the portobello mushrooms:Clean the portobello mushrooms and remove the stems. Place them on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet gill side up. Drizzle the tops with the olive oil and use your hands to rub on the bottoms. Sprinkle with about ½ teaspoonkosher saltdivided among the mushroom caps. Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 15 minutes until tender. Once baked, drain the caps of the excess liquid.
  3. Meanwhile, make the filling:Meanwhile, thaw the spinach. Use a strainer to squeeze out as much moisture as possible. Mince the shallot. Thinlyslice the green onions. Roughly chop the artichokes. In a medium bowl, mix together the spinach, shallot, green onions, and artichokes with the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, dried dill, garlic powder,kosher saltand several grinds black pepper.
  4. Stuff the mushrooms: Turn down the oven heat to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Spread the filling into the roasted mushrooms caps (there may be a little left over). Top with a little more Parmesan cheese on each cap, then sprinkle with the Italian panko. If desired, sprinkle with a little paprika or smoked paprika for color.
  5. Bake the stuffed mushrooms:Bake 10 minutes until the breadcrumbs are golden. Serve immediately.

Notes

*We recommend Italian panko or Italian breadcrumbs because they’re already seasoned. If all you can find is regular panko, mix ⅓ cup panko with ⅛ teaspoonkosher saltand ½ tablespoon Italian seasoning (or 1 teaspoon dried oregano and ¼ teaspoon each dried basil and thyme).
