JALAPENO POPPER MUSHROOMS



Jalapeno Popper Mushrooms image

My husband loves stuffed jalapenos and I like stuffed mushrooms, so I came up with this recipe that combines the two. Leave some of the seeds or ribs in the jalapeno for more heat! I like to use Neufchatel cheese and turkey bacon for a lower fat version -- it's just as tasty!

Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 slices bacon
cooking spray
1 ½ teaspoons olive oil
8 mushrooms, stems removed and chopped and caps reserved
1 clove garlic, minced
1 jalapeno pepper, ribs and seeds removed, finely chopped
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
3 tablespoons shredded Cheddar cheese
sea salt to taste
ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate. Crumble the bacon slices and set aside.
  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the chopped mushroom stems, garlic, and jalapeno; cook and stir until the mushrooms release moisture and soften, about 10 minutes. Transfer the mushroom mixture to a bowl, and stir in the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and bacon. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon the cheese mixture generously into the reserved mushroom caps, and arrange the stuffed caps on the prepared baking dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cheese begins to brown, 15 to 20 minutes.

Time 1h20m

Yield 12 stuffed mushrooms

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 slices thick-cut bacon
12 large white mushrooms, stems removed and reserved
1 yellow onion, finely diced
2 jalapeños, stemmed, seeded and diced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic, grated
4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1 heaping tablespoon panko
1 tablespoon chopped flat-leaf parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the bacon in the freezer for 5 to 10 minutes; this will help prevent sticking.
  • Finely dice the bacon. Heat a large skillet or saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring frequently and adjusting the heat, as needed, until the fat begins to render, about 3 minutes. Meanwhile, finely chop the mushroom stems and set them aside. Place the mushroom caps on the prepared baking sheet and set aside.
  • Once the bacon fat has started to render, add the chopped mushroom stems, onions and jalapeños. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are translucent and the peppers are soft, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the garlic and cook just until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl to cool to room temperature.
  • Once the mixture has cooled, stir in the cream cheese and Parmesan with a rubber spatula or fork until evenly combined.
  • Divide the bacon-jalapeño mixture between the mushroom caps with a spoon or small scoop. Sprinkle the tops of the mushrooms with the panko. Bake until the mushrooms are soft and liquid starts to form on the baking sheet, about 20 minutes.
  • Transfer the stuffed mushrooms to a serving platter and garnish with the parsley.

Tips:

  • Choose the right mushrooms. White button mushrooms are the most common type used for poppers, but you can also use cremini or shiitake mushrooms.
  • Clean the mushrooms thoroughly. Use a damp paper towel to wipe away any dirt or debris.
  • Remove the stems. Use a sharp knife to twist and remove the stems from the mushrooms.
  • Stuff the mushrooms. You can stuff the mushrooms with a variety of fillings, such as sausage, cheese, crab, or vegetables.
  • Bake or fry the mushrooms. You can bake the mushrooms in the oven or fry them in a pan.
  • Serve the mushrooms immediately. Mushroom poppers are best served hot and fresh.
