This is a light version that does not taste light. I use crimini mushrooms instead of button which I think are really nice- they are like baby portobellos. I buy the big container at Costco a lot. They're great in everything! Light cream cheese and turkey bacon give them great flavor without extra calories, but if you want regular cream cheese and great bacon-go for it!Directions:
1 container (approx. 24) Crimini
1 80z pkg. light cream cheese
4 green onions- chopped fine
8 sliced turkey bacon, cooked in micro until crispy
**my favorite is Oscar Mayer brand
Grated parmesan cheese to sprinkle
chopped parsley for garnish
Clean mushrooms with damp paper toweling-remove stems. Let cream cheese sit at room temp. then mix with finely chopped green onions and crushed turkey bacon. (Opt. finely chop mushroom stems and add into mixture) Mix well and fill mushroom caps. Top with grated parmesan and parsley. You can do this a day ahead, I usually do. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 20-30 minutes. Serve hot. These keep warm in the oven for a long time as well. Or remove from oven, and cover with foil if taking them to a party.
