Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Clean the Portobello mushrooms with a damp cloth and remove the stems.

  7. Spoon the mixture evenly into the mushroom caps.
  8. Drizzle lemon juice over the stuffed mushrooms.
  9. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the mushrooms are tender.

Notes

  • Use goat cheese or feta for a tangier flavor.
  • Add red pepper flakes for heat.
  • Top with breadcrumbs for crunch.
  • Sautéed onions or sun-dried tomatoes add depth.
  • For a non-vegetarian option, include sausage, bacon, or chicken.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat in the oven, not the microwave.
  • Can be made ahead and baked before serving.
  • Optional: remove gills for less bitterness and more filling space.
