Bacon Sautéed Baby Bella Mushrooms
The smokey bacon flavor adds to the savory earthiness of the mushrooms, while lemon and arugula contribute a refreshing brightness. Simple and refined.

- 4 slices raw bacon
- 1 cup arugula
- 1.5 tbsp fresh squeezed lemon juice
- 3 medium garlic cloves, minced or pressed through garlic press
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
- salt/pepper as needed
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bacon slices and cook until crispy. Transfer to a plate.
