Food Processor and process the bread and
Parmesan for about 45 seconds until finely chopped. Add the

mixture.
Insert the large metal blade into the large work bowl. With the
machine running, drop the garlic and shallot through the feed
tube to process. Scrape the sides of the bowl and add the
spinach, about 3 ounces at a time, and pulse 12 to 15 times after

shallow baking dish that has been lightly coated with olive oil; do
not crowd. The mushrooms may be stuffed up to 8 hours ahead.
If making in advance, cover and refrigerate. Do not freeze.
Bake the mushrooms for 20 to 25 minutes. Allow to rest for 5
