Bacon and Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms

It was a pleasure to be assigned Marla's blog, Family Fresh Cooking, for The Secret Recipe Club reveal today!  Marla's goal is to provide her family with fresh wholesome foods and foster a lifestyle of mental and physical fitness.  Her blog is inspiring.  I had a very difficult time deciding what to prepare.  After browsing through many recipes I stumbled upon Bacon and Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms that Marla prepared for a virtual dinner and fund raiser last fall.  They looked delicious and I knew that my family would really like them.


Bacon and Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms
adapted from Family Fresh Cooking.com

Yield:   12 mushrooms
Cook Time:  20 minutes

Ingredients
12 medium Crimini Mushrooms, rinsed and pat dry
3 Tbsp bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled, set aside 1 Tbsp for topping
1 ounce cheese cut into pieces (I used Brie and Parmesan)  set aside 1/2 for topping
1 tsp fresh thyme, finely chopped; reserve some tops for garnish
1 Tbsp chopped chives, reserve some tops for garnish
1 clove garlic, crushed or a pinch of garlic salt
a twist of fresh black pepper
pinch of smoked paprika

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Cook bacon until  crisp, let cool, crumble and set aside.
Gently remove the stems from the mushrooms and finely chop.
Spray a non-stick skillet.  Over medium heat saute mushroom stems, chives, thyme with crushed garlic or garlic salt, fresh ground pepper and paprika.  Mushrooms should be very soft.  Remove from heat.  In a medium bowl combine 2 Tbsp bacon with the mushroom mixture.  If you are filling with two types of cheese, divide the mixture between  two bowls.  Add the cheese to the bowl(s).

Place mushroom caps snugly in a baking dish.  With a small spoon gently fill the mushrooms with the mixture(s).  Top each stuffed mushroom with the remainder of the cheese and bacon crumbles.  Bake for about 20 minutes until the cheese is melted.  Garnish with the thyme and chives.




The Secret Recipe Club provides bloggers an opportunity to make a recipe from an assigned blog and share it on reveal day.  If you blog and love to prepare  recipes from other bloggers,  this is the club for you!
