Ingredients
Portabella mushrooms
4 large (cleaned and stems removed)
Butter
2 tablespoons (melted)
Garlic clove
1-2 (chopped)
Cream cheese
4 ounces (softened)
Bacon
4 slices (cooked and crumbled)
Mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup (grated)
Parmesan cheese
1/3 cup (grated)
Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
1/4-1/3 cup (for topping)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2
Preheat and grease the outside grill to medium-high heat.
3
Gently clean the portabella mushrooms with a damp cloth and remove the stems. Set aside.
4
In a small bowl, melt 1 tablespoon of butter and brush it generously on the smooth side of each mushroom. Allow them to rest for 1-2 minutes to soak up the flavor.
5
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with the crumbled bacon until well blended.
6
In a skillet over medium heat, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter and sauté the chopped garlic until fragrant and tender, about 2 minutes. Add the sautéed garlic to the cream cheese and bacon mixture and mix thoroughly.
7
Grill the mushrooms stem-side down over medium heat for 5 minutes, then flip them and grill for another 3-4 minutes. This process will enhance the flavor and create a tender texture.
8
After grilling, carefully remove the mushrooms and let them cool for 3-5 minutes.
9
Brush any remaining melted butter onto the rough side of the mushrooms for extra flavor.
10
Evenly distribute the cream cheese mixture among the mushrooms, spreading it out with your fingers to fill the caps generously.
11
Top each stuffed mushroom with grated mozzarella and parmesan cheese, ensuring an even layer across each one.
12
Sprinkle Italian seasoned breadcrumbs on top for added crunch and flavor.
13
Transfer the stuffed mushrooms to a baking tray and bake them in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling, and the breadcrumbs are lightly browned.
14
Serve warm and enjoy these deliciously stuffed portabella mushrooms!
