Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large caps Portabella mushrooms
- 6 ounces Brie cheese
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 sprigs Fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 teaspoons Balsamic glaze (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Clean the portabella mushroom caps with a damp paper towel, and gently remove the stems. Using a spoon, scrape out the gills from the underside of the caps to make room for the filling.
Brush both sides of the mushroom caps with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, gill-side up.
Mince the garlic and chop the fresh thyme leaves. Sprinkle the garlic and thyme evenly over the mushroom caps.
Cut the brie cheese into small pieces and divide them equally among the mushroom caps. Gently press the cheese down into the caps.
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the brie is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a serving platter.
If desired, drizzle balsamic glaze over the mushrooms for added flavor.
Serve warm and enjoy!
