Ingredients

  • 1 portabella mushroom cap large
  • 1 tsp fresh garlic crushed
  • ½ cup fresh tomatoes
  • ½ cup fresh mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tbsp fresh basil
  • extra virgin olive oil drizzle
  • balsamic vinegar drizzle

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Gently wipe the outer cap of the mushroom with a clean, damp towel or paper towel.
  • Gently scrape the brown gills from the inside of the mushroom cap.
  • Brush the inside with garlic and a drizzle of EVOO.
  • Bake the mushroom in the oven for roughly 8 – 10 minutes until garlic becomes fragrant.
  • Remove the mushroom from the oven and add tomatoes and mozzarella.
  • Return to the oven until the cheese begins to melt, roughly 10 – 15 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and add fresh basil and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

Chef Note: You don’t have to remove the gills, but I find the texture to be a little wonky, and they tend to make everything you add to the mushroom turn brown. I prefer to keep the tomatoes and cheese vibrantly colorful rather than a muddy brown!
