Ingredients

• 4 large Portabella mushroom caps
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 large Garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.75 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Balsamic glaze (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Clean the portabella mushrooms by gently wiping the caps with a damp paper towel. Remove the stems and use a spoon to gently scrape out the gills for a better surface to hold the filling.

Step 3

Brush the mushroom caps with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, seasoning them lightly with salt and pepper. Place them gill-side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.

Step 4

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, parsley, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until the texture resembles damp sand.

Step 5

Divide the breadcrumb mixture evenly among the mushroom caps, pressing it gently to form a compact layer.

Step 6

Top the breadcrumb mixture with shredded mozzarella cheese, distributing it evenly over each mushroom cap.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender, the filling is golden, and the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Drizzle with balsamic glaze, if desired, before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm as a delightful vegetarian main course or as a side dish alongside a fresh salad or roasted vegetables.
