* Source organic ingredients when available. Shop for ingredients at the Family Fresh Cooking Amazon Store
* These mushrooms are great straight out of the oven but good at room temperature too.
* I used two types of cheese in this recipe. 1/2 the mushrooms had shaved Parmesan the other 1/2 had Brie. I encourage you to try whatever you like. (See Variations below.)
* If you use dried Thyme and Chives you might need a little more.
* To reheat I put ours in the toaster oven at 350˚F for 8-10 minutes until warm.
INGREDIENTS
* 12 medium Crimini Mushrooms, rinse and pat dry
* 3 tablespoons Bacon crumbles, set 1 tablespoon aside for topping
* 1 ounce varied Cheese, cut into pieces (I like Brie and shaved Parmesan) set 1/2 aside for topping
* 1 teaspoon fresh Thyme
* 1 tablespoon chopped Chives, plus some for garnish
* pinch of Garlic Salt
* pinch of cracked Black Pepper
* pinch of Smoked Paprika
* Cooking Spray
METHOD
1. Preheat oven to 350˚F with rack in the middle.
2. Cook bacon according to package directions. Let cool, crumble up a few pieces and set aside.
3. Gently remove stems from the mushrooms. Chop stems into small pieces.
4. Spray a small non stick skillet. Over medium heat sauté mushroom stems, chives, thyme with garlic salt, pepper and smoked paprika for a few minutes. Mushrooms should be nice and soft. Remove from heat.
5. In a medium bowl combine 2 tablespoons bacon crumbles with mushroom mixture. If you are filling mushrooms with two types of cheese then divide mixture in two. I added Parmesan to one bowl & brie to the other. (see note above)
6. Place mushroom caps snugly onto a baking sheet or baking pan.
7. With a small spoon gently fill the mushrooms with mixture(s).
8. Top each stuffed mushroom with the remainder of the cheese and bacon crumbles.
9. Bake for about 20 minutes until cheese is melted.
10. Garnish with some extra cheese and chopped chives.
Variations
* To make these for the Jewish holidays (Hanukkah) – simply omit the pork bacon and use turkey or vegetarian options.
* Instead of Thyme, fresh Rosemary would be an excellent choice.
* Cheese choices: Gorgonzola, Blue Cheese, Romano, Cheddar, Mozzarella, Gruyére, etc. The list can go on and on!
