Looking for a quick and easy recipe with fresh tomatoes? Look no further. These delicious Bacon Caprese Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms are the perfect weeknight dinner. Want to go meatless? Leave out the bacon and they are just as good! Plus they are a great way to kick off the New Year. Like I said, cut down the bacon or go completely without.
They are so fresh, delicious and easy to make. Plus you can get creative, add what you want, take away what you don’t want and just generally make something new but make them often! SO fab!
So are you ready to hear more about these Bacon Caprese Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms? They really are super easy. The ingredients I use are the ingredients I always seem to have on hand, so they aren’t a difficult dinner and don’t require a lot. Basically I just preheat the oven to 375, brush my portobellos with some olive oil, make some bacon up, stuff all of the ingredients into the portobellos, sprinkle with a little sea salt and pepper and bake for about 30-45 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Stuffed portobello mushrooms are one of my favorite ‘comfort’ meals. I love that you added bacon and balsamic. I bet this is a flavor masterpiece!

What a delightful meal with tomatoes. I must try making this soon. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much Betty, hope you enjoy it!
Candace Dyer says
I love how these have bacon (the best food in the whole world!), but I also love how you can omit it for a Meatless Monday meal!
Nicole Cook says
We’ve done both and while the bacon definitely adds an element of flavor that makes them amazing, they are JUST as fantastic without! Thanks!!
anne says
This looks sooo good! All of my favorites in one bite!
Jersey Girl Cooks says
These look so good! It’s like a pizza with bacon in a mushroom instead of on crust.
