Portobello mushrooms are a fantastic ingredient to work with because of their meaty texture and robust flavor.
Making Stuffed Mushrooms with Goat Cheese:
To make these stuffed mushrooms, you’ll need four large Portobello mushroom caps, which you can find at most grocery stores. Remove the stems and gently scrape out the gills with a spoon. Next, brush the mushrooms with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
In a separate pan, sauté chopped onions, red bell peppers, and minced garlic until they’re soft and fragrant. Add in bread crumbs, fresh parsley, fresh basil, and grated Parmesan cheese, and mix well. Spoon the mixture into the mushroom caps, making sure to press it down to create a compact filling.
To top off these stuffed mushrooms, slice some goat cheese and place it on top of each mushroom. Bake the mushrooms in the oven until they’re tender and the cheese is crispy and golden brown.
Why Stuffed Mushrooms with Goat Cheese works:
- The combination of the meaty mushrooms, flavorful filling, and crispy goat cheese creates a taste and texture that’s unlike anything else.
- They make a great main course for a dinner party, or can be served as a side dish alongside a juicy steak or roasted chicken.
So next time you’re looking for a meal that’s both delicious and impressive, give these stuffed mushrooms a try.
Tips and tricks:
- To prepare the portobello mushrooms, you need to remove the stems and scrape out the gills with a spoon. This will create more room for the filling and prevent the mushrooms from releasing too much liquid during baking.
- To make the stuffed portobello mushrooms ahead of time, you can assemble them up to a day in advance and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Then, you can bake them when you are ready to serve them, adding the goat cheese slices in the last 10 minutes of baking.
- To serve the stuffed portobello mushrooms, you can garnish them with some chopped parsley or basil, and drizzle some extra marinara sauce over them. You can also serve them with a green salad or some crusty bread for a complete meal.
Delicious Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms with Crispy Goat Cheese
Equipment
Ingredients
- For the Mushrooms:
- 8 large 4-inch diamer portobello mushrooms stems trimmed
- EVOO
- kosher salt and pepper
- For Assembly:
- 1½ cups store-bought or homemade marinara sauce
- 4 ounce log of goat cheese cold from the fridge
Instructions
- To roast the portobello mushrooms, follow these steps:- Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C) and place a rack in the center position.- Lightly spray or brush a sheet pan with olive oil and arrange the mushrooms on it, stem side up.- Brush or spray the mushrooms lightly with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.- Roast for 15 to 25 minutes, depending on the size of the mushrooms. Check them after 10 minutes to avoid overcooking.- If any liquid accumulates in the mushroom caps, drain and discard it carefully.- Transfer the mushrooms to a large plate and keep them warm while you prepare the filling and the crispy panko breadcrumb topping.
- To assemble, lower the oven heat to 425°F (220°C). Use parchment paper to cover the same baking sheet (*note: if you have a baking rack that fits inside a baking sheet, I recommend putting the mushrooms on it, as it helps avoid the mushrooms from soaking in any juice that comes out while baking).
- Arrange the roasted mushrooms, stem side up, in the middle of the sheet pan, close together. Spoon some marinara sauce into each mushroom.
- Cut the goat cheese into round slices that are half an inch thick and weigh about half an ounce each. The cheese might break into pieces, but try to keep the shape as round as possible.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until the dish is warm, the goat cheese is slightly soft, . Enjoy your meal right away.
