Spinach Mushroom Bread Recipes

MUSHROOM AND SPINACH FLATBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 F. Place uncooked flatbread on a rimmed baking sheet, then drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil. (If using a flatbread with no herbs on top, you can sprinkle 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning on top at this point).
• Scatter taleggio or fontina (or other cheese) evenly on top, then add baby spinach. Top with shredded mozzarella and shiitake mushrooms. Drizzle with another tablespoon of olive oil.
• Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until flatbread is crispy on the bottom and cheese has melted and browned a little on top. Let cool about 5 minutes before slicing. Serve topped with fresh thyme.

SPINACH, MUSHROOM AND CHEESE BREAKFAST CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Grease a 9-by-13-inch (3-quart) casserole dish with oil.
• Toss the bread cubes with 2 tablespoons of the oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bread to the skillet, and cook, tossing occasionally, until toasted and golden brown, about 8 minutes. Return the toasted bread to the bowl to cool.
• Wipe out the skillet. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat until it starts to shimmer. Add the mushrooms in one layer (resist the urge to stir right away), and cook until they start to brown, about 3 minutes; stir, then continue to brown for 2 minutes more. Add the garlic, thyme, 1/4 teaspoon salt and some pepper, stir continuously for 1 minute, then fold in the spinach and another 1/4 teaspoon salt. Continue to cook, stirring often, until the spinach is wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Place half the bread cubes in the prepared casserole dish, and sprinkle them with half each of the Gruyere and Parmesan. Add the mushroom-spinach mixture in an even layer. Top with the remaining bread cubes, Gruyere and Parmesan.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper. Pour the egg mixture into the casserole dish. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours up to overnight. Remove the casserole from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bake the casserole until the custard is set and the top is golden brown, 50 to 55 minutes. Cool for at least 15 minutes before serving warm or at room temperature.

MUSHROOM AND SPINACH BREAD-ZAGNA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heat the EVOO in a large saute pan over medium-high heat and brown the mushrooms until tender and dark. Stir in the thyme, garlic, shallots, some salt and pepper, cook 1 to 2 minutes. Deglaze the pan with the marsala and stir until almost completely evaporated. Pour in the stock, wilt in the spinach and turn off the heat. Whisk the half-and-half with the eggs, nutmeg and some salt and pepper in a large shallow bowl. Soak the bread, turning occasionally, until the liquid is absorbed. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Lay 4 slices of the bread on the bottom and top with the mushrooms and spinach and half of the cheeses, followed by the remaining bread and cheeses. Dot the top with the butter and bake until golden, 45 minutes to 1 hour.

SPINACH WITH MUSHROOMS AND BREAD

Steps:

• Heat the butter and oil together; add the mushrooms, along with some salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until nicely browned. Add the garlic and spinach and cook, stirring occasionally, until the spinach wilts, about 5 minutes.
• Add the bread and stir until it absorbs most of the spinach juices. Adjust seasoning and eat.

CREAMY MUSHROOM & SPINACH PASTA

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over a medium heat and fry the onion and mushrooms for 10 mins, or until softened and browned slightly. Meanwhile, cook the pasta following pack instructions.
• Add the garlic to the pan with the mushrooms and cook for 2 mins more. Tip in the crème fraîche and parmesan, stir to combine, then add the baby spinach. Set aside.
• Remove the pasta from the heat and drain, reserving 25ml of the water. Toss the pasta in the creamy mushroom sauce, put back on the heat and cook over a low heat until the spinach wilts, about 5 mins. Pour in enough of the reserved water to loosen slightly. Season with black pepper and finish with a sprinkle of chilli flakes, if you like.
