Best recipe reviewMoorish 5/5 I always make these too big, then eat them all. Piggywig! |
These make a great starter or an accompaniment to a main meal. Beware, they are moorish and very filling. I was in such a rush to eat these that I couldn't wait long enough to photograph the finished product! Next time...

Variations
Instead of home smoked bacon you can use a similar good quality ready-to-eat meat such as parma ham, Prosciutto or even salami.
You can also use normal bacon. If you do, cook it properly first by frying with the mushrooms. Use dry cured bacon though, or you will find everything swimming in water!
