Caprese Stuffed Portobellos

These stuffed portobellos are such a delicious way to take care of that caprese craving you have been having!

They are filled with a creamy mozzarella cheese, cherry tomatoes, and topped with basil! Just waiting to be demolished at any point in time!

Just the way the cheese browns at the top is sooooo mouth watering! Don’t even get me started on butter sauce, and the glaze! Yes, please!


Ingredients:

Garlic butter:

  • 2 Tbsp Butter
  • 2 Cloves garlic, crushed

  3. Brush the bottoms of each mushroom and place them, buttered side down, on a baking tray.
  4. Fill each mushroom with the mozzarella slices and tomatoes, and grill/broil until cheese has melted and golden in color (about 8 minutes).
