In general, stuffed mushroom recipes are very easy to make, since the idea is that you can make delicious appetizers in just a few steps. So they will be the perfect choice in case you have little time and need something to delight your guests.

Ingredients for the stuffed mushrooms

• Olive oil
• Parmesan
• A dozen whole mushrooms
• Three cloves of garlic
• Bacon
• Parsley
• Salt and pepper

Preparation

This preparation is quick, so it is best to start by preheating the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Once you have turned on the oven, proceed to prepare your mushrooms to be stuffed. This is achieved by cleaning them well and removing the stem, keeping only the hats, which is what you will use as a base. You can season the hat to your liking, both inside and out.

Lastly, prepare the filling. Finely chop the parsley and garlic cloves and put them in the blender for a few seconds, until everything is very well crushed. To facilitate the process add a splash of olive oil.

Besides,  cut the bacon into small squares and then you can mix them with the parsley sauce that you just prepared; incorporates everything very well.

Proceed to add to each of the hats with the filling that you just prepared and seal everything with a thick layer of Parmesan cheese. Arrange everything on a tray or a suitable baking dish and let it cook for 20 minutes. This time will be enough for the cheese to gratin, giving the dish a lot of texture and flavor.

Once this time has passed, or until the cheese is golden brown, remove your mushrooms from the oven and let them cool a bit. You can use them as an aperitif or as an accompaniment to a main dish. Without a doubt, both ways will look good and will make you look much better.

Additional tips

• Preheating the oven is important because it takes time away from the ingredients  and allows them to cook evenly.
• To avoid waste you can finely chop the stems of the mushrooms and incorporate them into the preparation.
