Mushroom Poppers
These are fantastic to take to parties, or throw your own just to serve them so you get all the credit! Be warned, they are gobbled up so fast that I recommend you double (or triple) the batch!
Equipment
- Mushroom Brush
- Mixing Bowl
- Baking Tray
Ingredients
- 20 White Mushrooms stems removed
- 225 gram Non-Dairy Cream Cheese at room temperature
- 140 gram Veggie Bacon
- 3 cloves Garlic minced
- 1/2 bunch Chives finely chopped
- Pinch Salt & Pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Clean the mushrooms using paper towels or a mushroom brush. Follow the package directions to heat up the bacon. Chop into small pieces.
- In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, chopped bacon, garlic, chives, salt, and pepper. With a small spoon, fill the mushrooms with the cream cheese mixture (not more than 1/2-inch above the top of the mushroom).
- Place the filled mushrooms on a baking tray and bake for 15 minutes, or until the cream cheese starts to brown. Serve immediately and stand back (or else get trampled in the stampede).
