Materials

  • 14 oz 1 package fresh mushrooms stems separated
  • 2 garlic cloves sliced thin
  • 4 cups fresh baby spinach
  • 4 slices center cut bacon
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs or GF
  • 2 tbsp shredded Parmesan cheese
  • Smart Balance cooking spray

Instructions

  • Set oven temperature to 400°F. Apply a thin layer of cooking spray to a baking dish or pan that is coated with foil.
  • Take off the mushroom stems and finely chop.
  • Heat a skillet of moderate size. After rinsing, add the spinach to the skillet and simmer for two minutes, or until it wilts.
  • Take out of the pan, press off any extra liquid, and finely chop. Put aside.
  • Add the bacon to a dry skillet, cover, and cook over low heat until the bacon is cooked through. On a paper towel, set aside. Roughly chop.
  • After cleaning the skillet, fill it with olive oil. Add the garlic and cook for about two minutes, or until golden.
  • Add the chopped stems of the mushrooms and sauté for 2 minutes or until tender.
  • Take the mushroom stems from the fire and mix them with the bacon, bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, and sautéed spinach.
  • Sprinkle salt on top of the mushroom caps. Stuff spinach mixture into mushrooms, ensuring the tips are rounded.
  • Transfer to an ovenproof dish and mist the tops with a small amount of oil.
  • Bake until golden, about 20 minutes. Consume warm.
