Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 large portobello mushrooms, stems removed

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

  • 8 oz fresh mozzarella, sliced

  • 2 medium tomatoes, sliced

  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves

  • Balsamic glaze, for drizzling

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

  • Clean portobello mushrooms by wiping them with a damp paper towel. Remove stems and scrape out the gills if desired.

  • In a small bowl, combine melted butter, olive oil, and minced garlic. Brush the mixture generously over each mushroom, inside and out, and season with salt and pepper.

  • Place mushrooms on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10 minutes, until slightly tender.

  • Remove mushrooms from oven and layer each with mozzarella slices and tomato slices.

  • Return mushrooms to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.

  • Remove from the oven, top with fresh basil leaves, and drizzle with balsamic glaze before serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, try grilling the mushrooms instead of baking them.

  • Use goat cheese or a vegan mozzarella for a dairy-free option.
