Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 4 large portobello mushrooms (or 8 smaller ones)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 medium onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 medium green bell pepper, chopped
- 2 cups spinach, chopped
- 4 cocktail tomatoes, chopped
- 1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce (such as Frank’s RedHot)
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Prep and Bake Mushrooms: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Remove stems from portobello mushrooms and chop the stems finely. Place mushroom caps stem-side down on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until they release their moisture. Remove from oven and use paper towels to soak up excess liquid.
- Make Filling: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion and garlic until softened. Add green pepper and spinach; cook until wilted. Stir in tomatoes, goat cheese, salt, pepper, chopped mushroom stems, hot sauce, and breadcrumbs. Cook for a few minutes more.
- Stuff and Bake: Fill mushroom caps with the prepared stuffing mixture. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Notes
- Mushrooms: Use any large mushrooms suitable for stuffing.
- Cleaning: Clean mushrooms with a mushroom brush or damp cloth, but avoid soaking them in water.
- Excess Moisture: Removing excess moisture from the mushrooms is important for preventing a soggy filling.
- Storage: Store leftovers in the refrigerator for 5-7 days.
- Freezing: Freeze unbaked stuffed mushrooms for up to 3 months.
