To make this starter, you will require large mushrooms, specifically Portabello champignons. Gently remove the stems of the mushrooms by hand, which is a simple task.
Next, fill the caps with pieces of mozzarella cheese and cherry tomatoes, season with salt and pepper, then bake in the oven until they turn golden brown. These appetizing mushrooms can be served with a balsamic sauce, similar to Caprese tomatoes. Stuffed mushrooms are enjoyable whether served hot or cold.
Ingredients
8 portobello mushrooms
120 g mozzarella for pizza
150 g multi-colored cherry tomatoes
60 g butter
2 cloves garlic
2 sprigs parsley
2 sprigs basil
salt
freshly ground black pepper
balsamic sauce for serving
Step-by-step cooking instructions
Step 1
Begin by preheating the oven to 200°C and lining a baking tray with parchment paper.
Step 2
Next, remove the stems from the champignons and wipe the caps with a damp cloth. Halve the tomatoes, slice the mozzarella cheese, and finely chop the garlic and parsley.
Step 3
In a small frying pan, melt the butter and add the garlic and parsley, cooking for 30 seconds before removing from heat. Dip the mushroom caps in the flavored oil and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Fill the caps with cheese and tomato slices, season with salt and pepper, then bake in the oven until golden brown, approximately 10 to 12 minutes.
Step 4
Once cooked, transfer the stuffed champignons to a serving plate, drizzle with balsamic dressing, and garnish with finely chopped basil leaves.
