These cheese and bacon stuffed portobello mushrooms are out of this world! I can’t even write this sentence without my mouth watering just thinking of the strings of mozzarella cheese and pieces of crunchy bacon inside these mushrooms. HEA-VEN-LY!
Can you guess the source of all the flavor of this recipe? Indulgent and greasy stuff. I do not even regret this because the result is to die for.
Unhealthy alert!
Discretion is advised. Tons of crunchy bacon, runny yolks, and stringy cheese can be shocking for some healthy readers. You can check these healthy egg muffins with mushroom instead.
You can serve these mushrooms as a heavy appetizer or as a side dish for a light dinner. You know balance is the key to everything in life.
Portobello mushrooms are my favorite choice for stuffed mushrooms. Just make sure to pick big ones. This way you can add all the yummy things without brimming out the filling.
Ideally, the quail eggs are the perfect size for these cheesy portobello mushrooms, but in case you can’t find them in your local grocery store, you can use size S eggs.
