Stuffed Mushrooms with Cheddar Cheese

I have been making stuffed mushrooms forever.  This has always been my go to appetizer or snack.  Over the years I have mastered these... well, I think I have.  :)
So when you're racking your brain about what to make for everyone as they arrive for Thanksgiving, check out this recipe.  They will be a hit!
Ingredients;
6 large Cremini mushrooms or White button mushrooms (Cremini are more flavorful)
1 medium shallot, minced
2 slices of bacon, finely chopped
2-3 Tbsp Italian Bread Crumbs
2 Tbsp finely grated pecorino romano cheese
6 thin slices of aged white or yellow cheddar cheese

Pull out the stems of the mushrooms and trim the ring around the mushroom as shown below.  Set the mushrooms aside.  Do not discard. 

Mince the shallot and take the stems of the mushroom and mince them as well.  Set aside.
Chop the bacon into small pieces.  In a small pan, saute 2 slices of bacon in a pan on medium heat, about 4-5 minutes.


Once the bacon is cooked, add the shallots and mushrooms to the pan.  Cook for an additional 5 minutes.

Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.  One the shallots are cooked and the mushrooms are cooked, remove from the heat and place the ingredients into a bowl.
Add the bread crumbs and cheese into the bowl with the other ingredients.  Mix.  Using a teaspoon, spoon the filling into the mushrooms.  The mushrooms should be overstuffed a little, since it may cook down a little.
Place a thin slice of cheese on top of the mushroom.  Broil in the oven for a few minutes until the cheese has melted.
 Thyme 2 Taste....
