Ingredients

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 medium clove garlic, minced
½ teaspoon salt, divided
½ teaspoon ground pepper, divided
4 portobello mushrooms (about 14 ounces), stems and gills removed (see Tip)
1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
½ cup fresh mozzarella pearls, drained and patted dry
½ cup thinly sliced fresh basil
2 teaspoons best-quality balsamic vinegar

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Combine 2 tablespoons oil, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Using a silicone brush, coat mushrooms all over with the oil mixture. Place on a large rimmed baking sheet and bake until the mushrooms are mostly soft, about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, stir tomatoes, mozzarella, basil and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and 1 tablespoon oil together in a medium bowl. Once the mushrooms have softened, remove from the oven and fill with the tomato mixture. Bake until the cheese is fully melted and the tomatoes have wilted, about 12 to 15 minutes more. Drizzle each mushroom with 1/2 teaspoon vinegar and serve.

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 serving cooking spray
12 whole fresh mushrooms, tough ends trimmed
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare a baking sheet with cooking spray.
Clean mushrooms with a damp paper towel. Carefully break stems from mushrooms. Chop stems extremely fine.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry chopped mushroom stems and garlic in hot oil until any moisture has disappeared, taking care not to burn the garlic, 3 to 5 minutes. Spread mushroom mixture into a bowl to cool completely, about 10 minutes.
Stir cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, black pepper, onion powder, and cayenne pepper with the mushroom stems and garlic until very thick and completely mixed. Use a small spoon fill each mushroom cap with a generous amount of stuffing. Arrange stuffed mushrooms onto the prepared cookie sheet.
Bake in preheated oven until piping hot and liquid starts to form under the caps, about 20 minutes.
