Oregon Blue Bacon Stuffed Mushrooms
Ingredients
- 12 large cremini mushrooms
- 2 slices thick sliced bacon
- ½ c. onion, minced
- ½ c. panko or breadcrumbs
- 3.5 oz. Oregon Blue, crumbled
- ¼ c. parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Wipe mushrooms with a damp cloth to clean. Remove stems and set caps aside in a medium casserole. Coarsely chop stems.
- Heat a large skillet to medium. Using kitchen shears, snip bacon into bite sized pieces into the skillet and cook until fat renders, about 3-4 minutes. Drain most of the fat, allowing about 2 tsp. to remain. Add onion and cook for 3 minutes. Add chopped mushroom stems and cook an additional minute.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool for a few minutes. Stir in panko, crumbled Oregon Blue cheese and parsley. Mix until well combined. Stuff each mushroom with an equal amount of stuffing.
- Bake in medium casserole dish 15-18 minutes until mushrooms are cooked through and topping is golden brown. Serve immediately.
