Caprese Stuffed Portobellos Recipes

CAPRESE STUFFED PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to grill/broil settings on high heat. Arrange oven shelf to the middle of your oven.
• Combine all of the Garlic Butter ingredients together in a small saucepan (or microwave safe bowl), and melt until garlic is fragrant. Brush the bottoms of each mushroom and place them, buttered side down, on a baking tray.
• Flip and brush any remaining garlic over the insides of each cap. Fill each mushroom with the mozzarella slices and tomatoes, and grill/broil until cheese has melted and golden in colour (about 8 minutes).
• To serve, top with the basil, drizzle with the balsamic glaze and sprinkle with salt to taste.
• (If making from scratch, prepare while mushrooms are in the oven.) Combine sugar (if using) and vinegar in a small saucepan over high heat and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low; allow to simmer for 5-8 minutes or until mixture has thickened and reduced to a glaze. (If not using sugar, allow to reduce for 12-15 minutes on low heat).

CAPRESE STUFFED PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS

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.

CAPRESE PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM PIZZAS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450° F. Grease a baking sheet with 1 tsp of the olive oil.
• Remove the stem from the caps and carefully wash them. Thoroughly clean through the gills or remove them. Pat the caps dry. Rub each cap with the remaining 2 tsp olive oil and season with the salt and pepper. Place them gill side up on a baking sheet.
• Divide the pizza sauce evenly amongst the portobello caps and spread along the gills. Sprinkle each one with 1/8 tsp of Italian seasoning. Divide the mozzarella cheese evenly amongst the portobello caps and spread evenly. Then top with the tomato slices.
• Cook them in the oven for 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and starting to brown. Prepare a large plate covered with a few paper towels to soak up liquid after cooking. When the pizzas are done, carefully transfer them to the paper towel lined plate and let cool slightly.
• Sprinkle fresh basil and a bit more Italian seasoning if desired on top of each pizza. Serve immediately.
