Ingredients

• 4 large caps Portabella mushrooms
• 100 grams Gorgonzola cheese
• 60 ml Balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Panko breadcrumbs
• 1 tablespoon Chopped parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Clean the portabella mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel and removing the stems. If the gills are very dark, you can carefully scrape them out with a spoon.

Step 3

Place the mushroom caps on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil, gill side up.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, minced garlic, fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Brush the mixture generously over the entire surface of the mushrooms, focusing on the gill sides to allow the marinade to seep in. Reserve a small amount of the marinade for later use.

Step 6

In another bowl, mix the gorgonzola cheese with the panko breadcrumbs and parsley to create the filling.

Step 7

Fill each mushroom cap with the gorgonzola mixture, gently pressing to ensure it stays in place.

Step 8

Drizzle the reserved marinade over the filled mushrooms.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender, and the cheese is melted and slightly golden.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Optionally, garnish with extra parsley or a drizzle of balsamic reduction for presentation.
