Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large portobello mushrooms, stems removed and gills scraped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 small red bell pepper, diced
- 1 small zucchini, diced
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Brush portobello caps with 1 tablespoon olive oil on both sides and place them gill-side up on the baking sheet.
- In a skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Sauté onion, garlic, bell pepper, and zucchini until softened, about 5 minutes. Season with oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Remove skillet from heat and stir in breadcrumbs, mozzarella, and Parmesan until well combined.
- Spoon the filling evenly into the mushroom caps.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, until mushrooms are tender and cheese is melted and golden.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
Notes
- Add spinach or kale to the filling for extra greens.
- Make it vegan by using dairy-free cheese and nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan.
- Top with marinara sauce for an Italian-inspired twist.
- For extra protein, stir in cooked quinoa or lentils to the filling.
