Ingredients
- 4 large caps Portobello mushrooms
- 200 grams Mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 6 leaves, finely chopped Fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons, grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Clean the portobello mushroom caps by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel. Remove the stems and scoop out the gills with a spoon to create a cavity for the stuffing.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Brush this mixture evenly over both sides of the mushroom caps.
Step 4
Place the prepared mushroom caps on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, cavity side facing up.
Step 5
Finely chop the mozzarella cheese and mix it in a bowl with breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and basil leaves.
Step 6
Fill each mushroom cap with the cheese mixture, pressing gently to pack it tightly.
Step 7
Bake the mushrooms in the oven for about 18-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling and the mushrooms are tender.
Step 8
Optionally, broil on high for an additional 1-2 minutes to give the topping a golden-brown finish.
Step 9
Remove the mushrooms from the oven and let them cool for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Step 10
Garnish with additional basil leaves if desired, and serve warm. Pair with a fresh green salad or crusty bread for a complete dish!
