Blue Bentley Bites
I popped a few of these into my mouth before someone handed me the "keys" to a 2012 Bentley Mulsanne - I consider these stuffed mushrooms to be good luck of the highest order. Besides there's only 3 ingredients...
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 8 oz mushrooms button (Medium sized, very fresh)
- 1/4 lb Kerrygold grassfed milk blue cheese Or the funkiest blue cheese you can find
- 2 slices bacon thick cut (Applegate Farms is the fave)
Instructions
- I hope you bought 1/4lb of the funkiest blue cheese... I mean - the sort that makes you want to compulsively wash your hands about 10 times. I think this Kerrygold grass fed milk stuff is definitely pretty awesome, so try that. Their butter is really quite good too, BulletproofExec got me onto that.
- Preheat oven to 400 Degrees Fahrenheit
- Wash the mushrooms and remove the stems - cut up the blue cheese into little cubes, put the cheese in the mushrooms - overstuff EVER so slightly. Set these aside.
- Get out granny's cast iron skillet (I actually used the 2 small cast iron skillets) cut the 2 bacon strips into 6 pieces total - brown them in the skillet(s).
- When they're browned and there's a good bit of bacon grease in the pan(s) take the bacon out and let it cool on a plate while you put the cheese stuffed mushrooms in the pan - making sure they all stay upright.
- Break up the bacon and place a piece on the top of each mushroom. Put in the oven for about 10 minutes.
- Make sure the mushrooms are nice and squishy. Let cool slightly then if no one is looking, eat them with your hands.
- They're also a great next to a steak and greens - which was my original plan, but I ended up eating more of them - the steak will wait for breakfast. Life is GOOD!! Also, save the juice from the pan - it's salad dressing waiting to happen. Drizzle it over greens!
Notes
I don't even remember who was catering, only that no one was saying no - I didn't know a soul there, but being on a mission - WOULD they let me drive it? Would anyone know my Jimmy Choo flats were from eBay? A few months before, I had taken a short spin in a Tesla, so why not, right? Safe driving record, up to date insurance - never mind the fact that the car was brand new and worth more than several houses combined. I learned later the darned thing might be smarter than me, and has all these "anti self destruct" features built into it - sure it's the size of a yacht, but if it was any easier to drive you could do it in your sleep. Besides, this was just another turn in the ongoing game of Truth or Dare I seem so bent on playing. If I haven't learned anything else, its that you just have to ask. They handed me the keys, or rather, the little highly polished square you just had to have near the car. I was the first one to test drive it that day. It feels like I can't even tell you - not without imitating Jeremy Clarkson and making extreme facial contortions.
