Cheese and Garlic Mushrooms with Bacon

Fry the bacon in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove from pan, chop and set aside.

In the same pan, turn temperature to medium-high to high heat, melt the butter. Add the mushrooms, drizzle with oil and mix through, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Fry for approximately 5 minutes to lightly brown. The pan needs to be hot so it will evaporate the moisture released from the mushrooms and brown, and not saute them.

Pour in the wine (or broth) and let reduce for 2 minutes, while occasionally stirring.

Add in the garlic and stir it through for a minute, until fragrant.

Pour in the cream and spices. Reduce heat down to low. Gently simmer until tender (approximately 5 minutes) and sauce is slightly thickened.

Add bacon and Parmesan to the pan and stir well.

Sprinkle mozzarella on top. Place in a 400 preheated oven for approximately 5 minutes and cheese is slightly browned and bubbling.
