• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 4 ounces (1/2 cup) cream cheese, softened

3. Trim the ends off the stems and chop finely.
4. Heat up 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. 
5. Add the chopped stems, spinach, and salt to the hot pan and saute for 3-5 minutes until they are soft and the spinach has wilted.
6. Transfer the spinach mixture to a plate lined with a paper towel, and squeeze as much water as you can out of it (wait until it cools a bit!). 
7. Mix the dried spinach mixture into the softened cream cheese.
8. Stuff the mushroom caps with the cream cheese mixture (around 1 teaspoon per cap).
9. Bake for 20 minutes.
10. While the caps bake place the 1/3 cup olive oil and slice shallots into a cold pan.
11. Turn the temperature to medium heat and stir the shallots occasionally until they are a golden brown (takes around 8-10 minutes).
12. Transfer the golden shallot to a paper towel to cool.
13. When the mushrooms are finished baking top them with the crispy shallots.
