mushroom bacon
Meatless smoky strips
Mushroom bacon is a vegetarian substitute for bacon made from thinly sliced mushrooms—typically shiitake, portobello, or king oyster—marinated and cooked until crispy.
The mushrooms develop a savory, smoky flavor and chewy texture that approximates bacon: I topped the BLT with mushroom bacon.
Also called mushroom rashers.
