Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your Portobello Mushrooms Filled with Caprese Delight:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare Mushrooms: Clean the portobello mushrooms with a damp cloth. Carefully remove the stems and scrape the gills using a spoon to create more space for the filling.
3. Make Filling: In a bowl, combine cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, basil, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until well mixed.
4. Stuff Mushrooms: Place the portobello mushrooms on a baking tray. Generously fill each mushroom cap with the tomato and mozzarella mixture.
5. Bake: Place the baking tray in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
6. Garnish: Once done, remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with extra fresh basil leaves if desired and drizzle with balsamic glaze for an extra touch.
7. Serve: Transfer the stuffed mushrooms to a serving platter and enjoy while warm!
