Preparation

Step 1

Clean mushrooms. Remove stems from

mushrooms. Set stems aside. Place

mushroom caps, stem sides down, in a

15x10x1-inch baking pan. Lightly coat the

rounded side of each mushroom cap with

cooking spray. Bake for 5 minutes. Carefully

place mushroom caps, stem sides down, on

a double thickness of paper towels to drain

while preparing filling.

Step 2

Chop enough of the reserved stems to

make 1 cup. In a medium saucepan cook

the chopped stems, green onion, and garlic

in butter until tender. Stir in bread crumbs,

cheese, and bacon. Spoon crumb mixture

into mushroom caps. Return stuffed

mushrooms to the baking pan. Bake in a

425 degree F oven for 8 to 10 minutes or

until heated through. Makes 24 mushrooms.

Here are some other ways to make stuffed mushrooms.

cup chopped pitted kalamata olives, 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese, and 1 teaspoon Greek seasoning,

crushed. Bake as directed.

Prosciutto-Stuffed Mushrooms:

Prepare as above, except omit butter, shredded cheese, and bacon. Cook mushroom stems, green onion,

and garlic in 1/4 cup olive oil. Stir in bread crumbs, 1/3 cup chopped prosciutto, 1/4 cup shredded

Parmesan or Asiago cheese, and 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning, crushed. Bake as directed.

Pesto-Stuffed Mushrooms:

Prepare as above, except discard mushroom stems. Omit green onion, garlic, butter, bread crumbs,
