Ingredients
- 20 large button mushrooms
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter or coconut oil
- 1/4 cup diced onions
- 2 large garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 lb bacon, cut into tiny pieces
- 4 oz cream cheese (1/2 cup), softened
- 1/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 2 cups chopped lettuce
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Wash each mushroom and remove the stems, setting them aside. Place the mushroom caps aside and pat them dry with a paper towel. Tip: Avoid soaking or letting the mushrooms rest in water while cleaning. Quickly wash each mushroom and pat dry to prevent soggy keto stuffed mushrooms.
- Finely chop the mushroom stems and set them aside.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add finely chopped onions, minced garlic, and the finely chopped mushroom stems. Cook these ingredients for about 2 to 3 minutes until the onions are soft and yellow. Then add your bacon and continue cooking until the bacon is crispy, which should take an additional 4 minutes or so.
- Transfer the onion and bacon mixture to a medium-sized bowl. Add cream cheese and cheddar cheese to the bowl and combine all ingredients until well mixed. A spatula can be used for this process.
- Using a spoon, stuff each mushroom cap with 1 tablespoon of the bacon and cheese mixture.
- Place all the stuffed mushroom caps in an 8-inch square baking dish, or any suitable baking dish, and season each mushroom cap with salt and pepper.
- Transfer your baking dish to the oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the mushroom caps are soft and the cheese has completely melted.
- On a serving dish, evenly spread your shredded lettuce and place the keto stuffed mushrooms on top of the bed of lettuce.
- These keto stuffed mushrooms are best served immediately out of the oven for the best taste.
- If you have leftovers, store them in a glass container in the fridge and consume within 3 days.
- To reheat, place them in the oven at 350°F for about 5 minutes or until the cheese has softened and melted.
