Preheat the oven to 220C/200C Fan/Gas 7.
Heat the oil in a small frying pan over a medium heat. Add the mushroom stalks, spring onion, celery and bacon and cook for 1–2 minutes, or until softened. Stir in the breadcrumbs and spinach and season.

Recipe tips
Keep a bag of ready-made breadcrumbs in your freezer so that you always have them to hand when you need to take out a small amount.
