These scrumptious Keto-friendly stuffed bacon mushroom bites are going to quickly become your new favourite snack if you enjoy keto-friendly foods. Imagine a tantalising bite-sized delicacy that combines the flavour elements of crackling bacon, creamy cheese, and juicy mushrooms. These filled mushroom bites are a great option for a party appetiser, a fun snack, or even a savoury addition to your meal prep because they’re not only incredibly easy to make but also brimming with flavour.
This recipe’s main ingredient is the common mushroom, which serves as the ideal carrier for a hearty, flavourful filling. To make sure your mushrooms hold up properly while baking, choose big, sturdy varieties like button or cremini mushrooms. To make a small cavity, begin by removing the stems and scooping out some of the gills. This will guarantee that every bite is full of flavour and leave enough of space for the tasty stuffing. To bring out the umami flavour that naturally exists in the mushroom caps, lightly brush them with olive oil and season with a little salt and pepper.
The main ingredients for the stuffing are cream cheese and crispy bacon. After the bacon is cooked to a perfect crispness, break it up into little pieces. The crispy, salty, and smokey bacon gives a wonderful contrast to the creamy interior. Combine the crumbled bacon with the cream cheese, which gives the stuffing a rich, creamy consistency and serves as a binder. Finely chopped green onions or garlic can be added to enhance the flavour even further. Grated Parmesan cheese can also be added for an additional layer of savoury flavour. The filling made of this mixture is flavourful and creamy, and it blends in well with the mushrooms.
After the filling is well combined, carefully spoon and compress the filling into the mushroom caps. For the filling to crisp up well in the oven, it should be heaped over the mushrooms. Garnish each stuffed mushroom with a little additional shredded cheese for a finishing touch. When baked, this extra layer of cheese will melt and provide a delicious golden crust.
Place the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet and bake for 15 to 20 minutes at 375°F (190°C) in a preheated oven. Depending on the size of your mushrooms, the cooking time may change slightly, but the result should be a soft mushroom cap with a golden, bubbling surface. Rich and delicious bites are produced when the mushrooms absorb the flavours and the filling gets hot and melty from baking.
