Ingredients

• 4 large caps Portabella mushrooms
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
• 2 minced Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Pizza sauce
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 6 halved Cherry tomatoes
• 8 leaves Fresh basil leaves
• 0 as desired Optional toppings (pepperoni, olives, etc.)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Clean the portabella mushroom caps by gently wiping them with a damp cloth and remove the stems. Using a spoon, scrape out the gills from the underside of the caps to create a flat surface for the toppings.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Place the mushroom caps gill side up on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the marinade generously over the caps, ensuring the insides are well-coated. Let the mushrooms marinate for 10 minutes to enhance flavor.

Step 5

Bake the mushrooms gill side up for 8 minutes in the preheated oven to release excess moisture and soften slightly. Remove them from the oven and gently blot any moisture with a paper towel.

Step 6

Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce evenly onto each mushroom cap.

Step 7

Top with shredded mozzarella cheese, cherry tomato halves, and any additional toppings of your choice.

Step 8

Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the toppings for added flavor.

Step 9

Return the stuffed mushrooms to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy your Marinated Portabella Mushroom Pizzas!
