Caprese Stuffed Garlic Butter Portobellos are irresistible!
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large portobello mushrooms, stems removed and cleaned
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup fresh mozzarella balls, halved
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced
- Balsamic glaze, for drizzling (optional)
- Fresh basil leaves, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Arrange the cleaned portobello mushrooms on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil, gill side up. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and minced garlic. Use a basting brush to coat each mushroom with the garlic butter mixture. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Distribute the halved cherry tomatoes and mozzarella balls evenly over each portobello mushroom. Sprinkle with thin slices of fresh basil.

- Remove from the oven and drizzle with balsamic glaze, if desired. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving. Enjoy warm!
Notes
- For a smoky flavor, consider grilling the portobellos instead of baking.
- Feel free to add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
