Stuffed Portabella Mushrooms Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Ingredients

   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Clean the portabella mushrooms by removing the stems and gently scraping out the gills. Set aside.

2. 2

   Cook the Sausage

   In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Add the Italian sausage, breaking it apart with a spatula, and cook until browned. Drain excess fat.

3. 3

   Caramelize the Onions

   In the same skillet, add sliced onions and cook over low heat until caramelized, about 15-20 minutes. Stir occasionally and add salt and pepper to taste.

4. 4

   Mix the Filling

   In a large bowl, combine the cooked sausage, caramelized onions, queso fresco, and red pepper flakes. Mix well.

5. 5

   Stuff the Mushrooms

   Stuff each portabella mushroom cap with the sausage mixture, pressing down gently to pack it in.

6. 6

   Bake

   Place the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet. Top each with shredded cheese and drizzle with balsamic vinegar. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the mushrooms are tender and the cheese is melted.

7. 7

   Serve

   Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm.
