This recipe for low carb mushrooms stuffed with avocado & bacon packs a lot of flavor in one bite. Great party food as an appetizer or side dish.

Eating low carb doesn’t have to mean low flavor. Here’s a recipe that’s tastes great and has very little carbs. I’ve been trying to cut the carbs, like so many, for overall health, and to fight the battle of the bulge. Summer is great because there are so many healthy options available, with fresh foods and veggies, but there are also a lot of parties to attend, with many tempting treats. So when I was thinking of something to bring to my niece’s birthday party, I wanted to bring something that everyone would love,and something low carb.

The idea of some kind of stuffed mushrooms came to me first. I had a couple of ripe avocados that needed to be used soon, so I made an avocado cream to stuff the mushrooms. They looked a little bland so I topped them with bacon crumbles. For this recipe I used baby portobella mushrooms but I’m sure white ones would work just as well.

They were a big hit at the party and I would definitely make them again.
