Bacon & Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms

Bacon & Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms

These bacon and cheese stuffed mushrooms are the sort of thing that disappear in minutes: salty, smoky bacon, a creamy cheese filling, and a crisp top.

They’re ideal as party bites, a starter, or a snack alongside a cold drink.

Method

15m20m35m
  1. Heat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan) and line a baking tray.
  2. Wipe the mushrooms clean. Twist out the stems and finely chop them.
  3. In a frying pan, cook the bacon until starting to crisp. Add the chopped mushroom stems and cook for 3–4 minutes until any moisture has cooked off.
  4. Stir in the spring onions and garlic for 30 seconds, then take off the heat. Let it cool for a couple of minutes.
  5. Mix the bacon mixture with the cream cheese, most of the cheddar, parsley and plenty of black pepper. Taste and add salt only if needed.
  6. Arrange the mushroom caps on the tray. Drizzle with olive oil and season with pepper.
  7. Stuff each mushroom generously. Top with the remaining cheddar and a sprinkle of breadcrumbs.
  8. Bake for 12–15 minutes until bubbling and golden. Rest for 2 minutes, then serve hot.

Ingredients

  • 150 g Cream cheese
  • 6 rashers Streaky Bacon finely chopped
  • 15ml Olive Oil
  • 15ml Parsley chopped
  • 3 Spring onions finely sliced
  • 16 Large Mushrooms stems removed and finely chopped

Notes

Mushrooms: use large chestnut mushrooms for proper bite-size cups. Don’t wash them — just wipe with a damp cloth.

No soggy mushrooms: roast on a hot tray and don’t overfill with wet ingredients.

Make ahead: stuff them earlier in the day and bake when you’re ready to serve.
