These are excellent and simple. You do not need oil because of the bacon grease. Mine came out excellent and beautiful. I bought two King Oyster Mushrooms from the Farmers Market for $10. Thin sliced bacon at Aldis is less than $4, so maybe half a package. One pointer. If you use colored toothpics like I do, avoid the dark blue or green. They bleed through. But it is not a tragic thing, still taste excellent and beautiful party appetizer, side dish, salad topping, or as a lovely Hors d'oeuvre.
