1 10 to 12 ounce package fresh mushrooms (Baby Bellas are my favorite, but any variety will do)
1 (1 pound) package sliced bacon (not thickly sliced)
box of rounded toothpicks
Wash mushrooms well. Pat dry. Trim stems, if necessary. Leave smaller mushrooms whole, cut large mushrooms in half or quarters as necessary. Cut slab of bacon in half (you should have about 5 inch long strips for wrapping).
Wrap bacon around mushrooms and secure with a rounded toothpick. Place on broiling pan with rack. Broil one side until browned, turn and broil other side until browned. Time varies according to size of pieces, thickness of bacon and distance of pan from broiler unit. Watch carefully. Serve warm as a appetizer.
This is a family favorite.
Note: Bacon "spits" so don't place pan too close to the broiler unit.
If you don't like mushrooms, dried fruit works well too. I have tried dried apricots with success. Cut the apricots in half.
Marlaoh has posted a recipe for Bacon Wrapped Oysters in the fish section of the board. Also delicious!!!! Thanks for the reminder, Marla.
