Instructions
-
Prepare the Filling: Begin by scooping the creamy cheese spread into a small mixing bowl. To this, add the crumbled bacon, chopped parsley, garlic powder, and ground pepper. If you enjoy a bit of extra flavor, feel free to add additional seasonings to suit your palate. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until well combined, creating a luscious filling.

-
Prep the Mushrooms: Next, take the white mushrooms and carefully remove the stems, discarding them as they are not needed for this recipe. Gently rinse the mushroom caps under cool water, ensuring they are clean, and then pat them dry with a paper towel. This step is crucial to prevent excess moisture, which could affect the final texture of your stuffed mushrooms.
-
Stuff the Mushrooms: Using a small spoon, generously fill each mushroom cap with the prepared cheese mixture, ensuring each cap is heaping with the creamy, savory filling. Once filled, arrange the stuffed mushrooms on a lightly oiled baking sheet, making sure they are spaced out to allow for even cooking.
-
Bake to Perfection: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Once heated, place the baking sheet in the oven and allow the mushrooms to bake for approximately 8 to 12 minutes. The exact baking time may vary depending on the size of your mushrooms; you’re looking for a golden, bubbly appearance on the top.
-
Serve and Enjoy: After baking, remove the mushrooms from the oven and let them cool for a minute before serving. These delightful bites are best enjoyed warm, allowing the rich flavors of the Brie and bacon to shine through. Present them on a beautiful platter, garnished with a sprinkle of additional parsley if desired, and watch them disappear quickly!
Conclusion
These Brie Stuffed Mushrooms are not just a dish; they are an experience of flavors that blend beautifully together, making them a perfect choice for entertaining or a cozy night in. Their quick preparation time means you can whip them up without much fuss, making them a fantastic go-to recipe for any occasion.
