Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Portobello mushroom caps
- 2 pieces Poblano peppers
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Clean the Portobello mushroom caps with a damp paper towel to remove dirt. Carefully remove the stems and gills with a spoon to create space for the filling. Brush both sides of the mushrooms with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and lightly season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Set aside.
Place the poblano peppers directly over a gas flame or under a broiler, turning occasionally, until the skins are charred and blistered (about 5-7 minutes). Transfer the peppers to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap for 5 minutes to steam. Once cool, peel off the charred skin, remove the seeds, and finely dice the peppers.
In a medium skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned. Add the diced poblano peppers, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and paprika, stirring to combine. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed pepper mixture, shredded cheddar cheese, cream cheese, and breadcrumbs. Mix until evenly combined.
Spoon the poblano and cheddar mixture evenly into each Portobello cap, pressing gently to fill. Place the stuffed mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is golden and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro, if desired, and serve warm.
