Check out this beautiful bacon stuffed portobello mushrooms recipe! They are juicy, crispy, savoury, delicious and highly nutritious. This appetiser recipe is one that I’m big fan of.
There are many ways of cooking mushrooms and one of my favourite is stuffed mushrooms. I love making stuffed mushrooms whenever I found some big and fresh mushrooms from the market.
This time I’m using a jumbo size portobello mushrooms that are almost the size of my hand. Yes these mushrooms are huge they are much bigger than my palm and reaching the size of my hand. You only need 2 of them for a serving of 4!
Mushrooms are good for you. They are high in antioxidants, vitamins, fibre, minerals and potassium etc. Mushrooms are fat free and are great to add into other foods as they give an extra flavour and nutrients to the dish.
This mushroom recipe is incredibly versatile, easy to make and you can pretty much stuff anything in it. My version of stuffed portobello mushroom is with cheddar cheese and bacon. You can use other protein or turn it into a vegetables dish by adding capsicum, tomatoes, spinach etc.
