Instructions
Creating Portobello Mushrooms Filled with Caprese Delight is a breeze when you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This setting ensures even cooking and a perfectly baked mushroom.
2. Prepare the Mushrooms: Clean the portobello mushrooms with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt. Remove the stems and gently scrape out the gills using a spoon to create space for the filling.
3. Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes, diced mozzarella, chopped basil, olive oil, balsamic glaze, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly combined.
4. Stuff the Mushrooms: Generously fill each portobello cap with the tomato and mozzarella mixture, pressing down slightly to ensure the filling stays intact.
5. Bake: Place the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
