Ingredients
  • 14 lg Mushrooms -- rinsed and drained
Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C).
  2. 2
    In a skillet over medium-high heat, sauté minced bacon until crisp.
  3. 3
    Stir in flour, then add spinach and half-and-half. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture is very thick.
  4. 4
    Stir in Tabasco sauce and salt to taste. Remove from heat.
  5. 5
    Fold in grated Parmesan cheese and let the filling cool thoroughly.
  6. 6
    For the topping, microwave cream cheese for 30 seconds or soften at room temperature. Stir in minced garlic, green onion, and dry sherry until creamy.
  7. 7
    Remove stems from mushrooms, leaving a cavity in the cap. Discard stems or save for another use.
  8. 8
    Season the inside of mushroom caps with salt and pepper.
  9. 9
    Divide the cooled spinach filling evenly among the mushroom caps.
  10. 10
    Lightly press one shucked oyster into each spinach-filled mushroom.
  11. 11
    Top each oyster with about 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture, spreading it slightly to partially cover the oyster.
  12. 12
    Place mushrooms on a lightly oiled baking pan. Sprinkle with minced red bell pepper.
  13. 13
    Bake until mushrooms are tender, filling is hot, and oysters are just cooked, about 8-12 minutes.
  14. 14
    Immediately squeeze lemon juice over the hot mushrooms before serving.

Note

Make-ahead: The filling and topping can be prepared up to 2 days in advance. Store tightly covered in the refrigerator and assemble before baking.

Ingredient substitution: If oysters are unavailable, you can substitute with clams or skip the seafood entirely for a vegetarian version.

Storage: Best served immediately. Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Tip: Ensure the spinach filling is completely cooled before adding the oysters to prevent them from overcooking prematurely.
