Bacon Mozzarella Topped Portabella Mushroom With Pesto Recipes

BACON & MOZZARELLA TOPPED PORTABELLA MUSHROOM WITH PESTO

Steps:

• Drizzle a reasonable amount of Olive Oil onto a baking tray and place the mushroom(s) on the tray, cap down, drizzle a little oil onto the mushroom.
• Bake in the oven, on 400, for 8 minutes.
• Meanwhile, Fry the bacon in olive oil and add any favourite herbs or seasoning.
• Remove the portabella mushroom(s) from the oven and top with bacon and cheese. Alternate each so that you would put one slice of cheese, then one slice of bacon, then cheese, bacon, cheese, bacon etc.
• Put the bacon and cheese topped mushroom(s) back into the oven.
• Cut out 2 circles, around the same size as the mushroom(s) from the bread - a pint glass or large cookie cutter will do nicely. Toast the bread rounds until golden, remove, spread with pesto (to taste) and put on top of each other.
• Remove the mushroom(s) from the oven again and place on top of the toasted croutons and pesto.
• Serve & Enjoy.

ROASTED PORTOBELLOS WITH PESTO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove the stems of the mushrooms, and carefully scrape away the gills using a spoon. Toss with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place, rounded side down, on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Place in the oven and roast for 8 to 10 minutes, until the mushrooms are beginning to soften and throw off liquid. Remove from the heat and fill with the pesto. Return to the oven and continue to roast until thoroughly softened, about 10 more minutes.

SPINACH PESTO PASTA WITH PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS OR BACON

Steps:

• Cook the pasta according to package directions.
• While the pasta is boiling, make the spinach pesto: In a food processor (or a blender in a pinch), pulse the spinach, garlic, walnuts, olive oil, and Parmesan cheese. Don't pulse it to a paste - leave it a little chunky - some texture is good.
• Okay, now pick your track! Are you going all veggie, all carnie, or a split between the two?
