Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large caps Portobello mushrooms
- 200 grams Mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 6 leaves, finely chopped Fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons, grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Clean the portobello mushroom caps by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel. Remove the stems and scoop out the gills with a spoon to create a cavity for the stuffing.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Brush this mixture evenly over both sides of the mushroom caps.
Place the prepared mushroom caps on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, cavity side facing up.
Finely chop the mozzarella cheese and mix it in a bowl with breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and basil leaves.
Fill each mushroom cap with the cheese mixture, pressing gently to pack it tightly.
Bake the mushrooms in the oven for about 18-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling and the mushrooms are tender.
Optionally, broil on high for an additional 1-2 minutes to give the topping a golden-brown finish.
Remove the mushrooms from the oven and let them cool for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Garnish with additional basil leaves if desired, and serve warm. Pair with a fresh green salad or crusty bread for a complete dish!
