Spinach & Parmesan Stuffed Mushrooms

Stuffed mushrooms really are a party staple because they are so good; nothing beats a savory & cheesy stuffed mushroom.  The stuffing ingredients are really endless and the possibilities are as big as your imagination.  I’m making these spinach & Parmesan stuffed mushrooms for an Oscar party tomorrow to serve along with a variety of small bites to fill the hungry appetites of the party guests as they watch the movie stars posing on the red carpet in their glamorous attire.   No need to dress up to eat these scrumptious morsels, eat them over the kitchen sink if you want in your pajamas at midnight, because you know you will wake up in the middle of the night dreaming of eating the leftovers…that is if there is any.
