Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large caps Portabella mushrooms
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 minced Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 cups, crumbled Blue cheese
- 1 tablespoon, chopped (optional garnish) Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Clean the portabella mushroom caps by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel. Remove the stems and, if desired, the gills by scraping gently with a spoon.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, balsamic vinegar, fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Brush the marinade generously over the mushroom caps, coating both sides. Place the mushrooms gill-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast the mushrooms in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking to ensure even roasting.
Remove the mushrooms from the oven and carefully sprinkle the crumbled blue cheese evenly over the gill side of each cap.
Place the mushrooms back in the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the blue cheese melts and becomes slightly golden.
Remove from the oven and allow the mushrooms to cool slightly. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Serve warm as a side dish or pair with a crisp salad for a light and satisfying main course.
