Ingredients

  • 4 portobello mushrooms

  • 4 teaspoons olive oil

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

  • 5 slices fresh mozzarella cheese, divided

  • 1/2 cup gourmet cherry tomatoes, halved

  • 2 basil leaves, thinly sliced

  • 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze, or as needed

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.

  2. Remove mushroom stems and remove gills. Place mushrooms, cap side facing downward, on a wire rack over the prepared baking sheet. 

  3. Bake in the preheated oven until mushrooms have released their liquid, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk olive oil and minced garlic together; season with salt and pepper.

  4. Remove mushrooms and drain off liquid. Flip mushrooms over, and return to the baking sheet. Place one slice of fresh mozzarella into each mushroom cavity. Lightly drizzle olive oil mixture over cheese.

  5. Preheat the broiler, and set a rack about 6 inches from the heat source. 

  6. Broil mushrooms until cheese is golden, about 5 minutes.

  7. Place tomatoes in a bowl. Cut remaining mozzarella into cubes, and combine with tomatoes. Spoon tomato mixture evenly into mushroom caps; top with basil, and drizzle with balsamic glaze.
