Bacon and Ricotta-Stuffed Mushrooms

Children may cringe at the sight of mushrooms, but these small-sized stuffed snacks are sure to appeal to adult foodies.
Saute the bacon in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until crisp. Remove the bacon from the pan, leaving the fillings; crumble. Add the garlic to the filling in the pan; simmer for 3 minutes or until the garlic starts to brown. Combine the garlic, ricotta cheese, parmesan cheese, thyme, and all but 2 tablespoons of crumbled bacon in a bowl. Spread the ricotta mixture evenly over the mushrooms. Combine the remaining 2 tablespoons of bacon and panko. Sprinkle the panko mixture evenly over the ricotta mixture. Bake at 350 ° C for 25 minutes or until cooked through.
