• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup heavy cream

• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup breadcrumbs

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

6. Pour the creamy sauce over the spinach and mushroom mixture in the skillet. Stir well to combine.
7. Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread the shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese on top.
8. Sprinkle breadcrumbs over the cheese layer for a crispy topping.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the top is golden brown.
10. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
