Stuffing the 'Room

I've been waiting to stuff some mushrooms and to get a great idea for what to put in them. Some mushrooms that I've tried in no where particular can be too greasy or have no flavor. I didn't want this to be where my take on the stuffed mushrooms ended up.

Disclaimer: You really should like mushrooms before you try eating them. If you don't like them just don't. This is not how I feel about all foods but mushrooms yes.

Here's whatcha need:

6 Baby Portabellos, stems removed and I'll share a trick
1 cup frozen spinach, thawed
4oz crab, I chose "Crab Select" from Kroger. At only 2.19 for 8 oz of IMITATION CRAB, I'll take it.
3/4 cup plain bread crumbs
Grated swiss cheese(how cheesy do you like it?)
Some olive oil

Here's the trick-

I take a small melon baller to scoop out the stem to create bowl in the mushroom. These are soft fungi so be easy!

What to do:

1.)Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2.)In small bowl, mix crab meat, spinach, bread crumbs and Swiss cheese.
3.)Use just a drop or two inside each mushroom to coat.
4.)Scoop the mixture you created in step 2 in the mushroom bowl.
5.)Bake for 10 minutes, mushrooms will darken.

Best enjoyed warm...My ever lovely husband and I ended up eating them as a meal, really we didn't mean too but it was a warm day and apparently we just weren't in need of a 3 course meal. And did you know? It's a Sara Original!

And just as a matter of knowing-Do you like mushrooms?
