How to Make Bacon Mozzarella Topped Portabella Mushroom With Pesto

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil on a baking sheet. Place portabella mushrooms cap-side down. Drizzle remaining olive oil over the mushrooms.
  3. Bake for 8 minutes.
  4. While mushrooms bake, cook bacon in a pan until crispy. Crumble and set aside. Add any desired herbs or seasoning during the last minute of bacon cooking.
  5. Remove mushrooms from the oven. Top each mushroom with alternating slices of mozzarella and crumbled bacon (cheese, bacon, cheese, bacon).
  6. Return mushrooms to the oven and bake for another 5-7 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Meanwhile, use a cookie cutter or glass to cut out two circles from bread slices.
  8. Lightly toast the bread rounds until golden brown.
  9. Spread pesto on each toasted bread round and stack them.
  10. Remove mushrooms from the oven. Place each mushroom on top of the pesto-topped croutons.
  11. Serve immediately and enjoy!
