2 pkgs large button mushrooms (each 397 g)
125-g pkg goat or brie cheese
1/3 cup bread crumbs
2 tbsp chopped chives, plus more for garnish
1 tbsp finely chopped parsley, plus more for garnish

DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 425F. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. Remove stems from mushrooms and place on prepared baking sheet. Crumble goat cheese into a small bowl. If using brie, dice and place in bowl. Add bread crumbs and herbs. Stir to evenly mix (you may need to rub the mixture with your fingertips). Divide cheese mixture stuffing into mushrooms.
2. Cook bacon in a medium skillet over medium heat, stirring often until bacon is brown, crisp and most of the fat has been rendered off, 8 to 10 min. Crumble cooked bacon overtop mushrooms.
3. Bake in centre of preheated oven until mushrooms are tender, about 18 to 20 min. Garnish with chopped chives and parsley, if you like. Serve warm.
