Description
Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms are a versatile and flavor-packed vegetarian dish that serves as the perfect vessel for various delicious fillings, making them an excellent option for appetizers, light meals, or meat-free main courses.
Ingredients
- 4 large Portobello mushrooms, stems removed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chopped spinach
- ½ cup diced cherry tomatoes
- ¼ cup breadcrumbs
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure the mushrooms don’t stick.
2. Clean the Portobello mushrooms with a damp paper towel and remove the stems. Lightly brush both sides of the mushroom caps with olive oil and place them gill-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
3. In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the minced garlic for 1 minute. Add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted. Stir in the diced cherry tomatoes and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat.
4. In a bowl, combine the sautéed vegetables with the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until well combined.
5. Spoon the filling mixture evenly into each Portobello mushroom cap. Top the stuffed mushrooms with the shredded mozzarella cheese.
6. Place the stuffed mushrooms in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the cheese is melted and golden brown.
7. Once the Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms are out of the oven, sprinkle them with fresh basil or parsley, if desired. Serve these delicious bites as an appetizer or enjoy them as a light vegetarian main course.
Notes
These Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms make a fantastic appetizer or side dish, but they can also be enjoyed as a main course. Pair them with a fresh green salad, garlic bread, or roasted vegetables for a complete and satisfying meal. Consider a light and crisp white wine, such as a Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio, to complement the earthy mushroom flavors.
