Spinach Stuffed Mushrooms

On Sundays we usually have a lazy kind of day when we can. This morning we slept in and didn’t have breakfast until well after 11. We always have a late dinner so this afternoon I made these Spinach Stuffed Mushrooms for a snack.

Season the mushrooms with season salt.

When buying fresh mushrooms always look for one that are whole with the caps intact. Avoid those that are discolored or have dry, shriveled patches. They should be faintly damp but not moist or slimy. Store the mushrooms in the container you bought them in. The packaging is designed to let the mushrooms breath. To clean the mushrooms I brush off the mushrooms with a paper towel. You can also run them under cold water but if you do I would suggest giving them a spin in a salad spinner. Use right away.

Mix the stuffing ingredients together. I used whole wheat bread to make the stuffing but white will work just fine.

Mushrooms at this point had been on the grill for almost 10 minutes. I rotated them several times.
