Baked, then topped with sauce and mozzarella cheese, the mouthwatering handhelds from Susan Corpman of Newhall, Iowa will soon become much-requested favorites.—Susan Corpman, Newhall, Iowa
Ingredients:
2 large fresh mushrooms, quartered
2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
6 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons italian seasoning
1 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 egg whites
