Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large caps Portabella mushrooms
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 ounces Fresh mozzarella
- 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 4 tablespoons Balsamic glaze (optional)
Instructions
Clean the portabella mushroom caps by gently wiping them with a damp cloth to remove any dirt, and remove the stems and gills using a spoon.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Brush the marinade onto both sides of the mushroom caps, making sure they are evenly coated.
Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Place the mushrooms on the grill, gill side down, and cook for 4-5 minutes. Flip them over and cook for another 4-5 minutes until they are tender and have grill marks.
While the mushrooms are cooking, slice the fresh mozzarella into thin rounds and halve the cherry tomatoes.
Once the mushrooms are done, remove them from the grill and place them on a serving platter, gill side up.
Top each portabella cap with slices of fresh mozzarella and a handful of cherry tomato halves.
Garnish with freshly torn basil leaves and drizzle with balsamic glaze, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
