Feta And Bacon Portabella Mushrooms Recipes

FETA-STUFFED PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Remove and discard stems from mushrooms; with a spoon, scrape and remove gills. In a small bowl, combine oil and garlic; brush over mushrooms. Sprinkle with salt. In a small bowl, combine cheese and pesto., Place mushrooms on a piece of greased heavy-duty foil (about 12-in. square). Grill mushrooms, stem side up, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from heat 8-10 minutes or until mushrooms are tender. Spoon cheese mixture over mushrooms; grill, covered, 2-3 minutes or until filling is heated through.

CRISPY PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM "BACON"

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (204 C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set an oven-safe baking/cooling rack on top for crispiness (if you don't have a cooling / baking rack, just omit - it helps the "bacon" get crispier but isn't necessary).
• Prepare marinade by adding avocado oil, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, coconut aminos, paprika, salt, liquid smoke, miso paste, and black pepper to a medium mixing bowl and whisking to combine. Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more liquid smoke or paprika for smokiness, pepper for spice, vinegar for acidity, maple syrup for sweetness, or salt to taste.
• Once the marinade is seasoned to your liking, add the sliced mushrooms to the bowl and gently toss / stir to coat. I prefer using my hands to toss the mushrooms in order to handle them more carefully and coat them more thoroughly.
• Lay mushrooms on the oven-safe baking/cooling rack set over the parchment-lined baking sheet (or just directly on the parchment paper) and spread into an even layer, making sure the mushrooms are touching as little as possible.
• Bake for 15-25 minutes in the top third of the oven, or until darker golden brown in color and fragrant. How long you bake the mushrooms depends on how crispy you like your mushroom "bacon." Check at the 15-minute mark and every 5 minutes thereafter to check for doneness.
• Remove from oven, peel off of cooling rack, and enjoy immediately with your favorite breakfast items, such as roasted sweet potatoes or in a scramble. Would also be delicious in vegan/vegetarian BLT sandwiches, wraps, or salads!
• Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator up to 3-4 days and reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop until warm. Not freezer friendly.

FETA AND BACON STUFFED CHICKEN WITH ONION MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned but still soft. Reserve the bacon grease in the skillet, and cool the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate. Once cool, mix the bacon together with the feta cheese, 3 tablespoons of sour cream, oregano, and black pepper in a small bowl; set aside.
• Lay a chicken breast flat onto your work surface. Use the tip of a sharp boning or paring knife to cut a 2-inch pocket in the chicken breast. Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts. Spoon the bacon mixture into the pockets. Pour the flour, egg, and bread crumbs into separate, shallow dishes. Gently press the chicken breasts into the flour to coat. Dip each into the beaten egg, then press into bread crumbs.
• Reheat the bacon grease over medium heat. Brown the chicken breasts on both sides in the hot fat, about 2 minutes per side. Reserve the bacon grease in the pan. Place the breasts on a baking dish, and bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is no longer pink and the filling is hot, 20 to 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Meanwhile, place the potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain.
• While the potatoes are boiling, cook the onion in the remaining bacon grease over medium heat until very tender and golden brown, about 10 minutes. Once the potatoes are done, mash together with the onion, butter, and remaining 3 tablespoons of sour cream. Serve the chicken breasts accompanied by the mashed potatoes.
