Directions
Heat a skillet to medium and add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add onion, pepper and chopped mushroom stems; sauté until onions become fragrant and translucent, about 8-10 minutes. Add garlic and basil and cook for two minutes more. Add spinach and stock; cook until spinach wilts, about two more minutes. Turn off heat and add rice; stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Preheat oven to 375 F. Brush the mushrooms on all sides with olive oil and place on a baking sheet, gill side up. Season with salt and pepper. Stuff each mushroom with some of the filling, distributing evenly into all mushrooms. Sprinkle each mushroom with cheese, distributing evenly.
Bake mushrooms for 15-20 minutes, until cheese is bubbling and mushroom caps are fork-tender. Remove from heat and serve immediately.
