Recipe: Jalapeno Popper Stuffed Mushrooms

Ingredients:

16 button mushrooms, stems removed

4 ounces (113g) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and finely chopped

4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Clean the button mushrooms and remove the stems. Set aside.
In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, finely chopped jalapeno peppers, crumbled bacon, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Take a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture and stuff it into each mushroom cap. Continue until all the mushrooms are filled.

Place the stuffed mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet, evenly spaced apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is golden and slightly bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let the stuffed mushrooms cool for a few minutes.
