Garlicked Spinach and Mushrooms
- Yield 4 servings
This spinach side dish uses a combination of portobello, shiitake and button mushrooms, but you can use just one kind.
To serve as an appetizer, use a broiler-proof skillet. Scatter 4 ounces shredded mozzarella over mushrooms and broil for 3 to 4 minutes or until cheese melts and browns. Serve out of pan.
