Hungry Girl: Recipes and Survival Strategies for Guilt-Free Eating in the Real World

Ingredients
4 large portabello mushroom caps
2 slices (about 1 ounce) extra-lean turkey bacon

cup shredded fat-free cheddar cheese 1 small tomato, chopped

1 tablespoon minced scallions
Вј teaspoon salt

teaspoon black pepper

Directions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Over medium heat, cook bacon strips, in a pan sprayed with nonstick spray, until crispy (about 5 minutes). Once cool enough to handle, crumble bacon into small pieces and set aside.
Line a baking pan with foil and spray lightly with nonstick spray. Wipe mushrooms clean with a moist paper towel and then let them dry.
Spritz caps lightly with nonstick spray (mist both sides as well as mushroom edges). Sprinkle the flat side with salt and black pepper, and then place, rounded-side down, on the baking pan.
Divide cheese among mushroom caps. Bake for 10 minutes in the oven or until cheese melts and edges begin to brown.
Remove pan from oven and sprinkle bacon, tomato, and scallions over mushrooms.
Return pan to oven and cook for an additional 5 minutes or until mushrooms are thoroughly heated.
