                    I first got this recipe from a  Food Day  that we had in junior high Spanish class. Someone brought this dish, and the mushrooms disappeared. No one could believe they had anchovies - a food that has such negative connotations! Ingredients: 
                    
                        
                                                1/2 cup bread, crusts removed and crumbled  |  
                                                1/4 cup milk  |  
                                                1 lb button mushroom, medium size  |  
                                                4 slices bacon, cooked and finely chopped  |  
                                                4 anchovy fillets, finely chopped  |  
                                                1 egg, beaten  |  
                                                1/4 cup dry breadcrumbs  |  
                                                1/4 cup olive oil  |  
                                                
                     
                    Directions: 
                    
                        
                            
                                1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. 2. Oil a large baking sheet. 3. Soak bread in milk in a small bowl. 4. Remove mushroom stems and chop finely. 5. Put stems into a bowl with the bacon, anchovies, garlic, egg, salt and pepper. 6. Squeeze soaked bread to remove excess milk; add to bacon mixture and mix well. 7. Divide bread mixture among mushrooms, piling mixture into small mounds. 8. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs. 9. Bake 20-30 minutes, until top of stuffing is crisp.                              |
