Spinach Stuffed Portabello Mushrooms

Was planning on making Hazelnut Chicken Schnitzel and then looking closely at recipe and directions decided it against it as I really like my "Oven Fried Chicken" dish and not nearly as many calories.  http://whats4dinnersue.blogspot.ca/2014/07/oven-fried-chicken-with-tomato-gravy.html

What to do?  It is now 3pm and I have to give hubby his grocery list within the next 20 mins and of course at the same time answering 2 or 3 emails that needed urgent attention and my phone is ringing... but I digress... felt like stuffed mushrooms; quickly searched the web and this is what I decided to try.  Easy, quick and very filling!  Could easy be vegetarian fare as taste would not suffer if pepperoni was omitted.   Served with simple salad and voila, dinner was done!

Ingredients:
4 portabello mushrooms
3T olive oil
2 T Italian seasoning
1 egg
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 10 oz bag of spinach greens, chopped
1/4 c pepperoni, chopped
1/4 c grated parmesan cheese
1/4 c shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
5 T breadcrumbs, divided

Directions
preheat oven to 350
scrape off the brown ribbing with spoon from mushrooms
Mix olive oil and Italian seasoning and brush on both inside & outside of mushroom caps
place on pan and bake for 12 - 15 mins
remove from oven and wipe away any excess water

In the interim,
mix egg, garlic cloves in a bowl
Add spinach greens (know it seems like a lot but works)
Add pepperoni, parmesan cheese , 3T of the mozzarella cheese and 2 T of breadcrumbs
Evenly divide mixture and place in mushroom caps
top with remaining mozzarella cheese
sprinkle with remaining breadcrumbs
return to oven and bake for 10 mins more
