A quick and easy appetizer featuring juicy mushrooms stuffed with a creamy cheese filling and wrapped in crispy bacon. Perfect for parties and gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 20–25 medium white or cremini mushrooms, stems removed
  • 10–12 slices thick-cut bacon, cut in half
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons green onions, finely chopped (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil or cooking spray for prepping the baking sheet

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. Wipe each mushroom with a damp paper towel to remove dirt. Pop out the stems gently and set the caps aside. Finely chop the stems.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine chopped mushroom stems, softened cream cheese, grated Parmesan, minced garlic, green onions, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Mix until well blended.
  4. Using a small spoon, fill each mushroom cap generously with the cream cheese mixture.
  5. Wrap each stuffed mushroom with half a strip of bacon, securing with a toothpick if necessary. Place seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, checking around 15 minutes. The bacon should be crispy and browned, and the filling hot and slightly golden. If needed, broil for the last 1-2 minutes to crisp bacon, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  7. Let cool slightly before serving to firm up and make handling easier.

Notes

Use thick-cut bacon for better crispiness. Don’t overfill mushrooms to avoid soggy bacon. Rotate baking sheet halfway through cooking for even crisping. Watch broil step carefully to prevent burning. Can substitute cream cheese with dairy-free version for lactose-free, and use turkey or plant-based bacon for lighter or vegetarian options.
