Stuffed Mushrooms

These are a quick appetizer that can be prepared ahead. If you want a more intense cheese flavour mix in some grated parmesan. I used smoked bacon to give a smoky flavour.


4 Large mushrooms
300g Light Cottage Cheese
1/2 Onion finely chopped
4 rashers bacon - no fat
1 Stock cube

Cook bacon until crisp then fry onion in its juices
Snip bacon into bits and mix with onion and cottage cheese
You can leave rest until you are ready to eat them

Cook mushrooms in boiling stock for a few minutes each side to soften slightly
Drain mushrooms and then place on grill pan
Stuff mushrooms with filling and grill for 10-12 minutes until nice and brown
Sprinkle with chopped parsley (optional)
