Manchego cheese and smoked bacon adds extra flavour to these simple stuffed mushrooms.
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.
Finely chop one of the mushrooms and the stems of the other two, reserving the two remaining mushroom caps. In a frying pan, fry the onion in half a tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chopped mushrooms and thyme and continue to fry for five minutes. Add the lemon juice, remove from pan and set aside.
Wipe clean the pan and add the remaining olive oil.
Season the mushroom caps with salt and freshly ground black pepper and fry gently for five minutes. Turn over and cook for a further five minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside to drain on kitchen paper.
In a bowl, mix the garlic, parsley and breadcrumbs together with a teaspoon of olive oil, the lemon zest and freshly ground black pepper. Set aside.
On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, place the two remaining large mushrooms caps topside down. Fill with the Manchego cheese, cooked bacon, onion and mushroom mix. Top with the breadcrumb mixture and bake in the oven for eight minutes.
Serve immediately.
