Bacon and Bleu Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms

"This is my version of stuffed mushrooms. I went looking for a recipe and couldn't find anything that fit the occasion. You can always leave the Blue Cheese out, just add a bit more cream cheese. Ive never measured before, so if something is off, please let me know!"

directions

  • Clean mushrooms and remove the stems from the caps, set stems aside and place mushroom caps top side down.
  • Chop Bacon into 1/4 inch by 1/4 inch squares and place in saute pan. Cook until crispy. Remove bacon and set aside.
  • Chop the stems finely,and add to the bacon fat along with the onion and garlic. Saute until the mushrooms release their liquid and the bottom of the pan is dry.
  • Add breadcrumbs and stir to combine. Remove from heat and let cool.
  • In a seperate bowl cream cheeses and green onions.
  • Add the mushroom mixture and mix well.
  • To stuff mushrooms I place the mix into a large plastic zip top bag, and cut off the corner. Sqeeze enough mix into the caps to fill the hole and make a rounded top.
  • Bake in a 350 degree oven for 15 minutes.

  1. Easy to make and tasty. I forgot the green onions. I had too much of the filling, so I spread it on bread and toasted. It was great. So this would be good for bruschetta also. I adore blue cheese and it was lost (or well integrated) in this. I will try it both without the blue cheese and with much more.
