Ingredients

  • 6 Baby Bella Mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup Diced Tomatoes fresh plum, cherry or grape
  • 1/2 cup Mozarella Cheese
  • 1 clove Garlic Chopped or crushed
  • 4 Basil Leaves Fresh
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Olive Oil

Instructions

  • Prepare: Rinse, dry and chop the tomatoes, basil and garlic. Mix them together in a small bowl and set aside. Use a damp paper towel to wipe the outside and insides of each cap of mushrooms and remove the stems; set aside. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees f. Use a box grater or hand grater to grate the mozzarella cheese and set it aside.
  • Place mushrooms on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Use a spoon to fill each mushroom cap with the tomato mixture.
  • Top each of the stuffed mushrooms with mozzarella cheese and place the baking tray with the mushrooms on it into a preheated oven and bake for 12 – 15 minutes; the cheese should be melted and and the mushrooms tender.
  • Remove the stuffed mushrooms from the oven and allow for them to cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish or serve with a balsamic reduction or glaze on the side.

Notes

TIPS:
  • Be sure to thoroughly clean the mushrooms before stuffing them to remove any dirt or debris.
  • To prevent soggy mushrooms, do not rinse them under water, instead use a damp towel or paper towel.
  • Carefully remove the stems by giving them a gentle twist.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to two days. Reheat in the oven at 325 or in the microwave.
