Instructions:

- Spoon the spinach and cheese mixture into each mushroom cap, filling them generously.
- Place the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

- Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
Tips and Variations:
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the filling.
- Use different types of cheese, such as Gruyere or cheddar.
