    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heat a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium high heat until hot. Add oil and onions - saute until golden. Stir in mushrooms and saute until mushrooms are wilted - stirring occasionally. Add the garlic, cooking for 1 minute, then adding spinach. Let cool slightly.
  • 3
    Gently fold in the mushroom mixture, feta and thyme into the bread crumbs.

    Wipe the skillet clean and spray with cooking spray. Add the mixture back into the skillet and bake for approximately 40 minutes until brown on top and done.
