Ingredients
-
4 large portobello mushroom caps, cleaned and stems removed
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
-
4 cloves garlic, minced
-
Salt and pepper, to taste
-
1 cup fresh mozzarella cheese, shredded
-
1 large tomato, diced
-
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
-
¼ cup fresh basil, chopped
-
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for topping)
Instructions
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
-
Prepare Mushrooms: Place the portobello mushroom caps on the prepared baking sheet, gill-side up. Drizzle with olive oil and brush to coat evenly.
-
Make Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix together melted butter, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Drizzle the garlic butter mixture over the mushrooms.
-
Stuff Mushrooms: In a separate bowl, combine shredded mozzarella, diced tomato, balsamic vinegar, and chopped basil. Spoon the mixture into the mushroom caps, pressing lightly to pack the filling in.
-
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
-
Serve: Remove from the oven and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese (optional). Garnish with additional fresh basil if desired, and serve immediately.
Notes
-
Vegan Option: Use dairy-free cheese or skip the cheese entirely for a vegan version.
-
Extra Flavor: Add a drizzle of extra balsamic glaze over the mushrooms before serving for an added burst of flavor.
-
Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
