2 cups of tightly packed fresh spinach

1/4 cup chopped onions

2 small garlic cloves, chopped

2 Tbsp bleu cheese crumbles

2-3 Tbsp goat cheese crumbles

1 oz cream cheese

2 Tsp Italian seasoning

 

Boil spinach, garlic, and onions in a pot of unsalted water for 30 minutes. The cheese will be salty enough that you don't need to add anything to this mixture. Drain thoroughly and press into a paper towel to get out as much water as possible. 

Transfer to a food processor and press chop until the mixture is in tiny shreds. Add in cheeses and seasoning and mix for 30 seconds more.

Scoop out and mix generously into peeled and rinsed mushroom caps. Top with a sprinkle of breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese and bake in a 350 degree oven for 15-20 minutes on a greased baking dish.

Recipe Adapted from Chef In Training

I made these as a side dish for a family meal but, you could easily increase it for a large party. I stem and peel my mushrooms. I don't think it's necessary to peel them but, they always look so dirty and I feel a bit funny eating "fungus" from the ground as my husband would say.

 

Wash and rinse, then stem and peel mushrooms. Cook the bacon until crispy in a fry pan and lay on a few sheets of paper towels to sop up grease. I crumbled up the bacon right in the paper towel to get out as much grease as possible. Add to room temperature cream cheese and add all the other ingredients except the breadcrumbs. Spoon teaspoonfuls into each mushroom and top with a sprinkle of breadcrumbs. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 15 minutes.
