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.
