This baked mushroom recipe is very simple and very versatile. I sautéed the bacon and onion together, transfer the bacon and onion onto the mushroom cap, top with some cheddar cheese and baked it for just 10 minutes. The smokiness of the bacon, the subtle onion flavour, the saltiness of the cheese and the chewiness of the mushroom – it was a perfect harmony of all the ingredients.
Baked Portobello Mushroom
Servings: serving
INGREDIENTS
- 1 piece portobello mushroom
- 1 strip streaky bacon, cut into small squares
- 1/8 onion, finely diced
- 1/2 slice cheddar cheese, cut into thin strips
- Olive oil
- Black pepper
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Line a baking tray with aluminium foil for easy cleaning later on. Drizzle some olive oil on top of the aluminium foil. Clean the mushroom and remove the stems. Dry it thoroughly with kitchen paper/towel and place it on top of the greased foil.
- Heat a frying pan and add the bacon (don’t add any oil!) and sautéed it until the bacon has released some of its fats. If it is too dry, add in a little bit of olive oil. A little goes a long way, so don’t add too much!
- When the bacon is almost golden brown in colour, add in the onion and continue to sautéed until the onion has softened and the bacon is golden brown in colour. Season with black pepper and remove from heat.
- Transfer the bacon mixture onto the mushroom. Top the mushroom with the cheddar strips and bake for 10 minutes until the cheese has melted and the mushroom is soft.
