Ingredients
- 6 strips of bacon, chopped
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded or freshly grated
- 2 garlic cloves, minced or grated
- 2 Tbsp parsley leaves, finely chopped plus more for garnish
- 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
- 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 24 cremini mushrooms, about 1 pound
Instructions
- Prep - Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment. Remove and discard mushroom stems, then wipe the mushroom caps with a damp paper towel. Do not soak or wash in water, or your mushrooms will end up soggy.
- Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 4-6 minutes, then transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate.
- Mix the filling - in a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mash together with a fork, then mix in half of the crumbled bacon. Use a small cookie scoop to fill each mushroom cap with about 2 tsp of the mixture. Sprinkle the remaining bacon over the top and place on the prepared pan.
- Bake the mushroom caps for 15 minutes until the tops have started to brown and the mushrooms are softened when squeezed on the sides. There may be some water at the base of the mushrooms. Place the cooked mushrooms on a serving platter and garnish with parsley. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
Make Ahead: Mix the filling and store in the fridge for up to 2 days before stuffing and cooking the mushrooms, or you can stuff the mushrooms and refrigerate in an airtight container for 2 days before cooking.
Storage: Store cooled mushrooms within 2 hours of cooking in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat in a 400°F oven until the filling reaches 165°F, or use the microwave in 30-second increments until heated through.
