Mushrooms Florentine
From Dorothy McNett's Recipe Book at www.dorothymcnett.com. Use Jeffrey's Spiced Pecans instead of the bacon for a very special taste treat!
12 fresh mushrooms (white or brown caps)
1/2 pound fresh baby spinach leaves (about 6-7 cups)
3 oz. cream cheese
nutmeg
4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled, or 1/4 cup toasted chopped almonds
Using a wet mushroom brush, clean each mushroom, trimming and removing stems. Chop the good part of the stems. Place stems and spinach in glass or ceramic batter bowl. Cut the crem cheese into about 6 chunks and place over the spinach. Cover with a glass or ceramic plate. Microwave 2-3 minutes. Blend well, adding a pinch of fresh nutmeg. Crumble bacon and/or almonds or pecans into mixture. Pile into mushroom caps and arrange on platter or plate. A deviled egg plate is perfect. Microwave on High 2-3 minutes, or until caps are warmed through. Serve warm.
