Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Mushrooms

Ingredients

  • /2 cup chopped green onions
  • (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • fresh mushrooms, stems removed
  • pound sliced bacon, cut in half

Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with the chopped green onions. I like to let the cream cheese come to room temperature so it blends smoothly. Give it a good stir until everything is well incorporated. Now take each mushroom cap and spoon a generous amount of the cheese mixture into the cavity. Don't be shy—the filling melts slightly as it bakes. Then wrap each stuffed mushroom with a half strip of bacon, securing it with a toothpick. Place them seam side down on a baking sheet. If you have any leftover bacon, you can crumble it over the top. Bake for about 20 minutes, keeping an eye on the bacon’s color. You want it crispy and fully cooked. Let them cool for a few minutes before serving because the cheese gets very hot. These are best enjoyed warm, but they’re still tasty at room temperature.

Chef's Tip

For extra flavor, I sometimes brush the mushrooms with a little garlic butter before stuffing them. It adds a nice savory note that complements both the bacon and cream cheese perfectly.

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 crisp the bacon, or microwave for a quicker option.

Variation Tips

Swap the green onions for chives or add a pinch of garlic powder to the cream cheese. For a spicy kick, mix in diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce. These pair well with a side of tangy sugar-free marinara for dipping.
