Ingredients
Bacon
12 slices (halved crosswise)
Enoki mushrooms
2 packages (4 ounces each) (trimmed and split into 24 bundles)
Scallions
3 (quartered lengthwise and cut into 3-inch lengths)
Fresh ground pepper
to taste (for seasoning)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2
Take the halved bacon slices and arrange them on the baking sheet with about 3 inches of space between each piece to ensure they crisp up nicely.
3
Carefully place the trimmed enoki mushrooms on top of each bacon slice. Then, nestle the quartered scallions on top of the mushrooms. Sprinkle with freshly ground pepper to taste.
4
Starting at one end, roll each bundle tightly into a cylinder, ensuring that the bacon wraps snugly around the enoki and scallions. Secure each roll with a toothpick to hold everything together.
5
Bake the bundles in the preheated oven for 18 minutes, or until the bacon is golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent overcooking.
6
Once done, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the bundles drain on paper towels for a minute to absorb excess grease. Carefully remove the toothpicks before serving.
7
Serve warm, and enjoy the delightful combination of crispy, salty bacon and tender, flavorful enoki mushrooms!
