Instructions

  • Using a soft mushroom brush or a damp cloth, clean mushrooms to rid of any grit or dirt. 
  • Gently break off stems from caps and finely chop.
  • In a pan over medium-high heat, cook bacon until lightly browned and crisp. Remove from heat and set aside. Remove rendered fat except for about 1 tablespoon.
  • Add shallots and garlic to the pan and cook until softened. 
  • Add chopped mushroom stems and continue to cook, stirring regularly, for about 2 to 3 minutes or until tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.  Remove from heat and allow to cool.
  • In a bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. 
  • Add blue cheese, mushroom mixture, crisp bacon, and green onions. Stir to combine.
  • Arrange mushroom caps gills side down on a baking sheet and lightly brush with olive oil. 
  • Bake in a 400 F oven for about 4 to 5 minutes or just until mushrooms start to leak. 
  • Turn mushroom caps to cavity side up and using a small spoon, fill with stuffing mixture. 
  • Return to oven and bake at 400 F for another 10 minutes or until filling is heated through and tops are golden brown.

Notes

If you prefer not to par-bake, chill the filling in the freezer for a few minutes to keep from melting too much while the mushrooms cook.
