Caprese Style Portobellos
 |
| I got this recipe over at Proud Italian Cook. I subscribe to her blog and when I saw this email I went right out and got the ingredients to make these. OMG, if you like mushrooms you will love these. Great as a side dish but I could eat one of these for lunch and be happy. Simple and Delicious! |
Ingredients
- large portobello mushroom caps, gills removed
- cherry tomatoes, halved (make sure you get good tomatoes)
- shredded mozzarella
- fresh basil
- salt and pepper
- Extra Virgin olive oil
- Balsamic glaze
I really like this brand of balsamic glaze from Traders Joes but you can find the glaze at your local grocery store. It's thicker and sweeter than just plan balsamic.
Instructions:
- Heat oven to 400 degrees.
- Line a baking sheet with foil for easy clean up.
- Brush the mushrooms with olive oil.
- Slice cherry or grape tomatoes in half, place in a bowl, drizzle with olive oil, add chopped basil, salt and pepper. Let it sit for a few minutes to let the flavors meld.
- Place your cheese on the bottom of the mushroom cap, spoon on the tomato basil mixture and bake until cheese melts and mushrooms are cooked but not overcooked.
- Drizzle with balsamic glaze.
