Mushrooms with cream cheese and bacon
Mushrooms with cream cheese and bacon is a meaty dish that can be served both as an appetizer and as a snack. In this dish, I wrapped mushroom caps filled with cream cheese in bacon and baked them in the oven. The stuffing with which I stuffed the mushrooms is a simple cream cheese stuffing, I only added a bit of ground black pepper, fried mushroom stems and finely chopped parsley to it. Before filling the mushrooms with the stuffing, I first wiped them with a damp cloth, dried them with a paper towel and only then removed the stems, which I fried in a bit of olive oil. I recommend the following recipe for mushrooms with cheese and bacon. Enjoy.

Good to know when making mushrooms with cream cheese and bacon.
If you can’t buy cream cheese with garlic and herbs, you can squeeze a clove of garlic into the plain cheese and add about half a teaspoon of Provençal herbs.
After baking, the mushrooms will release a lot of water, but this is normal.
I used raw smoked bacon in this recipe.
