This is a very low carb preparation (therefore keto friendly) that's also rich in protein and doesn't have too many calories. It's also quite easy to prepare, except for the time spent coring and stuffing the mushrooms.
Ingredients
- 400 g of Mushrooms
- 100 g of Mozzarela (one small ball)
- 50 g of Bacon (diced)
- 1 small Onion
- Spices (pepper, paprika, salt, garlic powder etc)
- Oil
Clean the mushrooms and remove their cores and a bit of the pulp, so you have space to stuff them inside.
Process the onion (finely chopped), put it in a cup and mix with a tea spoon of oil, reserve. Process the mozzarella (or another cheese you might like) with garlic powder, paprika and any other spices you might like.
Protect a baking pan with foil or a baking sheet and spread a bit of oil in it.
Stuff the mushrooms at about 80% with the cheese, add a couple of tiny pieces of bacon on top of it, then cover with the finely chopped onions.
Sprinkle a bit of seasoned salt (very little amount, since the cheese and the bacon already have salt), pepper and paprika, plus any other spice like oregano, thyme or something else you might like.
Without preheating, bake on low heat (90ºC / 200ºF) for 20 minutes, then broil for 5 ~10 minutes on high, until you get the desired color (depending on your oven). Open the oven door and let it cool down for a few minutes before serving.
I think you just became my favorite blogger on the web. Sims AND healthy cooking! I'm in heaven!
I'm on the AIP diet and can't WAIT to make this my fake mozzarella I recently made!
Aw... Thanks!!!
What's AIP Diet?
It's the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, basically a restriction diet to help figure out what's causing autoimmune symptoms, and I'm in the THICK of it!! I can't have anything, but I can have THESE (modified just a little)!
Cool! It is never fun to be sick, I deal with fibromyalgia myself, but gladly it's "just pain". Eating well makes a huge difference, and not being obese anymore meant a lot to me.
I am always looking to replace high calorie ingredients on my preparations, I am planning on starting a specific blog on that matter, doing some research and test right now, I hope that I have many recipes, ideas and information to share soon.
That would be amazing! I'd definitely follow! I'm planning on trying your cake recipes with coconut flour and coconut sugar to lower the carbs! I'll let you know how it goes for your future blogs!
Thanks!! I like to use sucralose because it has no calories and it's "made from sugar" (chemically processed, of course).
This turned out quite nice!
