Ingredients

For the mushrooms:

1 Tablespoon olive oil
18 whole cremini mushrooms - large ones for stuffing
1/4 cup yellow onion - diced
1 medium jalapeno - diced (with or without seeds)
3 cloves garlic - minced
salt and pepper - to taste
4 slices cooked bacon - diced
4 oz. cream cheese
4 oz. herbed goat cheese

Panko topping:

1 Tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup Panko bread crumbs
2 Tablespoons freshly grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

Prep mushrooms. Use some damp paper towel to gently clean the mushrooms. You should never submerge mushrooms in water because they will be mushy! Then remove the stems and dice them up. Set the mushrooms on a baking sheet prepared with a rack.
18 whole cremini mushrooms
Sauté veggies. Heat a pan to medium-high heat. Add some olive oil and then the diced onions, jalapeños, and diced mushroom pieces. Add a sprinkle of salt and cook until softened. Add the garlic and crumbled bacon – and cook a minute longer.
1 Tablespoon olive oil, 1/4 cup yellow onion, 1 medium jalapeno, salt and pepper, 3 cloves garlic, 4 slices cooked bacon
Combine filling. In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, goat cheese, and the veggie/bacon mixture. Use a hand mixer to cream everything together.
4 oz. cream cheese, 4 oz. herbed goat cheese
Stuff mushrooms. Use a spoon to add the stuffing mixture to the cavity of the mushrooms. Use all the filling and pile it up.
Toast breadcrumbs. Toast the breadcrumbs in a bit of olive oil until slightly browned and toasty. This will take just a few minutes.
1 Tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 cup Panko bread crumbs
Dip mushrooms. Drizzle the mushroom filling with some olive oil. Then take them, one at a time, and dip into the toasted breadcrumbs. Pack as much on the tops as you can. Place them back on the baking sheet. Then add a sprinkle of freshly grated parmesan cheese.
2 Tablespoons freshly grated parmesan cheese
Bake. Bake stuffed mushrooms for 20-25 minutes, or until heated through and slightly browned on top.

Notes

Choose large mushrooms for this recipe.
Use a damp paper towel to clean the mushrooms.
The mushrooms will still sweat a little bit of liquid after baking. So I recommend placing them on a bit of paper towel to absorb it before adding them to a party platter.
