Equipment

Ingredients

  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400℉.
  • In a medium bowl add the Parmesan cheese, bacon, parsley and salt and pepper to taste. I usually don't add any salt because I find the Parmesan cheese and bacon provides enough saltiness, but I do add about ½ teaspoon of black pepper. Stir everything together and set aside.

  • In a large oven safe skillet, add the olive oil and heat it over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook on both sides for about 2 or 3 minutes per side, just until the mushrooms start to brown a bit.

Notes

  1. Use large cremini mushrooms for the best results.
  2. Cook the bacon until crispy for a nice crunch in the filling.
  3. Be cautious with added salt; the bacon and Parmesan already provide plenty of seasoning.
  4. For a richer flavor, try swapping olive oil with butter when browning the mushrooms.
  5. Assemble the mushrooms ahead of time and bake just before serving for easy prep.
