stuffed mushroom recipeThese bacon wrapped mushrooms are seriously mouthwatering morsels of goodness that will have any mushroom fan begging for more. We have these quite regularly as a side dish, although they went down a treat when we had friends over for dinner recently when I made them as pre-dinner nibbles!

Get creative with these: You don’t need to use a cream cheese/feta mix, if you are a blue cheese lover, why not use that? Instead of using chopped fresh herbs, why not use a heaped teaspoon of pesto? Like things spicy? Add some chilli flakes to the cheese. You get the idea.

Ingredients
Cream cheese (1 semi heaped teaspoon of cream cheese per mushroom)
1 clove of garlic, crushed
Feta – (” “)
Small handful of fresh herbs (I used a mix of mint, parsley and chive)
Streaky bacon – one rasher sliced in half length ways will wrap two mushrooms (I use Hellers, always).
Button mushrooms – medium sized

Get all your ingredients out and ready to go. Before you start, whack the oven on - 180 degrees, normal bake.... :)

Remove the mushroom stalks. Using the tip of a sharp knife score the mushroom and then scoop out the mushroom 'flesh' with a spoon. Be careful not to scoop out too much - you don't want to break the bottom of the mushroom (otherwise the filling will leak out!)
