Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 16 ounces Baby Bella Whole Mushrooms
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 8 ounces cream cheese, (softened)
- ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- 1 cup bacon, (cooked and crumbled)
- ¼ cup mozzarella cheese, (shredded)
Instruction
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Clean mushrooms with a damp paper towel. Carefully break off stems. Chop stems extremely fine, discarding tough end of stems.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and chopped mushroom stems to the skillet. Fry until any moisture has disappeared, taking care not to burn garlic. Set aside to cool.
- Once cooled, stir in the cream cheese, bacon, parmesan cheese, black pepper, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Mix together.
- Fill each mushroom cap with a generous amount of stuffing. To make filling the mushrooms easier, use a piping bag with the tip cut off. Or, use a plastic baggie with the corner cut off.
- Arrange the mushroom caps on a clean cast iron skillet.
- Sprinkle the mushroom caps with shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the mushrooms are piping hot and liquid starts to form under caps.
- Serve immediately.
