YUM! I made these for Thanksgiving this year and they were the first dish gone! I couldn't get Fontina cheese so I substituted shredded Smoked Gouda. I also used thick cut bacon and cooked the mushroom stems in with the bacon before adding to the cheeses. No one in my family likes green onions so I used a 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder and 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder instead. They were a HUGE hit - Everyone LOVED them!!!!

Absolutely delicious! I have been looking for a perfect stuffed mushroom recipe, and I think I have found my GO TO for stuffed mushrooms! I love the fact that there is no stuffing in this recipe. That usually takes over the flavor, and texture. I did have to substitute shredded gouda cheese for the fontina. And, I used 3 teaspoons of dried parsley, as I did not have fresh. I also lightly salted the mushrooms. Love this recipe!
