Instructions

  1. Step 1

    I like to start by preheating the oven to 400°F (200°C). While it heats, I take my bacon strips and mushrooms. There's no need for any fancy prep—just wipe the mushrooms clean with a damp cloth. Now, wrap each mushroom with a slice of bacon, overlapping slightly if needed, and secure it with a toothpick. I find that slightly stretching the bacon helps it cling better. Arrange the wrapped mushrooms on a baking sheet, making sure they don’t touch. If you have any bacon ends poking out, tuck them under so they crisp up evenly. Slide the sheet into the oven and bake for about 15 minutes. The bacon should turn golden and crispy. I sometimes flip them halfway through for extra crunch, but it’s not essential. Once done, let them cool for a minute before serving—they’re hot! The toothpicks make them easy to grab, and the contrast of the juicy mushroom inside the crisp bacon is simply satisfying. This dish disappears fast, so I often double the batch.

Chef's Tip

I always opt for thin-cut bacon—it wraps more easily and gets crispier without overcooking the mushroom. If your bacon is thick, give it a quick parcook in the microwave for 30 seconds to render some fat before wrapping.

Storage Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes to restore crispiness—the microwave makes them soggy.

Variation Tips

For a flavor twist, brush the wrapped mushrooms with sugar-free barbecue sauce before baking. You can also stuff the mushrooms with a tiny cube of cream cheese or jalapeño before wrapping for a creamy, spicy kick.
