Tips and Tricks
Bacon
Cook the bacon until it is crispy. This will add a nice crunch to the filling and prevent it from becoming soggy.
Mushrooms
Use a damp paper towel to clean the mushrooms. Avoid rinsing them under water as they can absorb moisture and become soggy.
Mushroom Stems
Chop the mushroom stems finely to ensure they mix well with the onions and provide a uniform texture.
Butter
Use unsalted butter to control the saltiness of the dish. This allows you to adjust the seasoning to your taste.
Onion
Chop the onion finely to ensure it cooks evenly and blends well with the other filling ingredients.
Cheese
Grate your own cheddar cheese for better melting and flavor. Pre-shredded cheese often contains additives that can affect the texture.
Filling
Mix the filling ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution of bacon, cheese, and mushrooms in each cap.
Mushroom Caps
Be generous when filling the mushroom caps. Press the mixture down slightly to ensure each cap is fully stuffed.
Baking
Check the mushrooms after 12 minutes of baking. They should be tender and the cheese should be melted. If they need more time, continue baking in 1-minute increments to avoid overbaking.
Topping
Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of the mushrooms immediately after taking them out of the oven. The residual heat will melt the cheese nicely.
Serving
Serve the stuffed mushrooms warm. They make a great appetizer or side dish for any meal.
Storage
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. Reheat in the oven or toaster oven to keep them crispy.
