Steps

  • Preheat your oven to a high heat on the broil setting, ideally around 450°F (230°C).
  • Melt unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in chopped parsley.
  • Clean and dry the Portobello mushrooms. Place them upside down on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Coat the underside with the garlic butter mixture.
  • Layer the buttered mushrooms with slices of fresh mozzarella cheese and halved grape or cherry tomatoes.
  • Transfer the baking tray to the oven and broil the mushrooms for approximately 8 minutes, until cheese is melted and mushrooms are tender.
  • Remove from the oven, let cool for a minute, then sprinkle with fresh basil and drizzle with balsamic glaze.

Notes

Ensure mushrooms are thoroughly dried after cleaning to avoid excess moisture. Watch closely while broiling to prevent burning. Season filling with sea salt for a flavor boost. Use fresh ingredients for vibrant flavors.
