Ingredients
2 strips smoked uncured bacon
2 Tbsp. Fresh Thyme unsalted butter
1½ lb. yellow onions, sliced ⅛ inch thick
1 tsp. fresh thyme leaves
1 tsp. packed Fresh Thyme organic light brown sugar
¼ tsp. black pepper
¼ cup Beef broth
24 large baby bella mushrooms (about 1 lb.)
2 oz. mild Gruyère cheese, finely shredded
Finely chopped fresh curly parsley
Directions
- For filling, place bacon in a large nonstick skillet. Cook over medium heat for 8 to 12 minutes or until crisp, turning often. Drain bacon on paper towels; reserve 1 Tbsp. drippings in skillet. Add butter to skillet; heat until melted. Add onions; sprinkle with thyme, brown sugar, and black pepper. Cook over medium-low heat for 30 to 35 minutes or until onions become very soft and begin to caramelize, stirring occasionally.
- Increase heat to medium-high. Stir in beef broth. Simmer for 1 to 2 minutes or until broth has evaporated. Remove from heat. Finely crumble bacon and stir into onion mixture. If desired, cool filling and transfer to a tightly covered container; refrigerate up to 24 hours.
- To serve, preheat oven to 350°F. Bring onion mixture to room temperature. Clean mushrooms; remove and discard stems. Place mushrooms, stem sides up, on a wire rack in a large rimmed baking pan. (For fewer servings, place mushrooms in a baking pan lined with parchment paper.)
- Spoon onion mixture into mushroom caps. Top with cheese. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until heated through. Turn on broiler and broil 6 inches from heat for 10 to 20 seconds or until cheese is golden. Transfer to a serving platter; sprinkle with parsley.
