Stuffed Mushrooms with Spinach and Thyme

This recipe, Mushrooms stuffed with Spinach came by me so long ago I cannot tell you where it came from. But for years, perhaps over 20 or so, I have been making these stuffed mushrooms. Maybe somebody from my past will remember where this came from and let me know. But they are always requested, so I decided to share this recipe with you just in time for your next holiday! These come in handy if your need a quick appetizer. I’m seldom out of fresh mushrooms in my kitchen. I do buy the frozen spinach souffle and store it in my freezer, for a quick dish.

The mushrooms can be prepared ahead of time, cleaned with stems removed. Then placed in a plastic bag and refrigerate. The filling can be made the night before and refrigerated.  Assemble the day of the party and place in the refrigerator until ready to bake.

Here is the Stouffer’s Souffle I use for this quick appetizer. If you cannot find it, it can be purchased here.
