Looking for a perfect addition to your next breakfast or brunch … these mushroom lollipops are your go-to option. As this is on a stick, it makes a great item in your next array of canapés too! It is really easy… butter and herbs do all the work!
What you need?
Makes about 8 cocktail sticks (they are the shorter sticks than those used to make meat skewers).
-200g packet of button mushrooms, kept whole (the smaller the mushrooms the better as you want to keep these mushrooms whole for a cuter effect). The smaller your mushrooms, you can add two to three per cocktail stick, mine where unfortunately not small, so I have one mushroom per cocktail stick in the pictures
-2 tablespoons butter
-1 teaspoon thyme
-1 teaspoon mixed Italian herbs
-200g packet rashers of bacon
What to do?
- Preheat the oven to 180 Celsius. Line and grease a baking tray.
- In a large frying pan, heat the butter on medium heat and add the mushrooms.
- Add the herbs, and cook the mushrooms until soft and cooked through. Once cooked, take off the heat.
- Soak the cocktail sticks in water (to prevent splinters).
- Spear a mushroom (or two if you have smaller mushrooms) on a stick.
- Wrap the bacon around the mushroom/s, ensuring you spike the bacon too, that it remains secure around the mushroom. Place on the prepared baking dish.
- Repeat for all mushrooms and baking tray is filled with all the lollipops.
- Bake for 10 minutes to 15 minutes until the bacon is cooked through and crisp
- Take out the oven, dish up with your other breakfast items or plate up as a part of your canapés to wow your guests.
