Portobello Mushroom with Basil Pesto

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. 2

    Prepare the Mushrooms

    Clean the portobello mushrooms with a damp cloth to remove any dirt. Remove the stems and gills using a spoon to make space for the filling.

  3. 3

    Season the Mushrooms

    Brush the cleaned mushrooms with olive oil on both sides. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  4. 4

    Add the Pesto

    Spoon basil pesto generously into the cavity of each mushroom, ensuring it's evenly distributed.

  5. 5

    Sprinkle Parmesan

    Top each pesto-filled mushroom with grated Parmesan cheese, evenly covering the pesto.

  6. 6

    Bake the Mushrooms

    Place the mushrooms on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the cheese is golden brown.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Serve warm as an appetizer or side dish.
