Ingredients
- 8 ounces Bacon cut into strips
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 26 ounces brown mushrooms washed, pat dry with paper towel
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ cup dry white wine or chicken broth/stock
- 6 cloves garlic finely chopped
- 1 ½ cups heavy cream thickened cream or evaporated milk
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme chopped
- 1 pinch salt to season
- 1 pinch pepper to season
- ½ cup fresh mozzarella shredded or grated
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese fresh shredded or grated
Instructions
- Fry the bacon in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat until crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a paper towel lined plate to soak up some of the oil. Set aside.
- In the same pan, melt the butter. Add the mushrooms, drizzle with oil and mix through, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes to lightly brown mushrooms and release their juices (if any).
- Pour in the wine (or broth) and let reduce for 2 minutes, while occasionally stirring. (Preheat broiler or oven grill.)
- Add in the garlic and stir it through for a minute, until fragrant. Pour in the cream and herbs. Reduce heat down to low. Gently simmer until tender (about 4-5 minutes) and sauce is slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add the bacon back in and give everything a good mix to combine all of the flavours together. Top the mushrooms with the mozzarella and parmesan cheese.
- Broil until cheese is melted and bubbly and mushrooms are done to your liking (about 3-5 minutes).
- Serve warm.

Notes
- Tips:
- Find mushrooms that are about the same size to ensure even cooking.
- Make sure to wash your mushrooms before cooking to prevent them from getting slimy.
