Ingredients
Mushrooms:
24 large white or cremini mushrooms, wiped clean, stems finely chopped for the filling
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
Filling:
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1/2 cup finely chopped celery
1/2 cup finely chopped shallots
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup cooked and finely chopped bacon
1/2 cup crumbled fresh goat cheese
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh chives
1 cup coarse fresh challah breadcrumbs
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
For the mushrooms:
- If your mushrooms caps are very rounded, trim a very thin slice from the top of the caps to help them sit upright for baking. Toss the mushroom caps with the olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl.
For the filling:
- Heat the butter over medium-high heat. Add the chopped mushroom stems, celery and shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until just soft, 6 to 8 minutes. Scrape into a large bowl, season with 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and set aside to cool.
- Add the bacon, goat cheese and chives to the cooled mushroom stem mixture. Stir in the breadcrumbs until well moistened.
- Pack each mushroom with an equal amount of filling and transfer the filled mushrooms to a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is brown and crispy on top, about 15 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes before removing from the baking sheet.
