Roasted Pesto Stuffed Portobellos Recipes

PESTO-STUFFED GRILLED PORTOBELLOS

Steps:

• Remove stems from mushrooms and finely chop stems.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir chopped mushroom stems, shallot, and garlic until softened, about 5 minutes. Pour wine into the skillet; cook and stir mixture using a wooden spoon until liquid is evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Cool mixture to room temperature, about 10 minutes.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Brush the olive oil mixture over the top each mushroom and place, top-side up, on a grilling pan. Mix pesto and pine nuts with the mushroom stem mixture together in a bowl; spoon into each mushroom. Sprinkle Italian cheese blend over the filling.
• Grill mushrooms on the preheated grill until edges are blackened and stuffing is bubbling, about 10 minutes.

ROASTED STUFFED PORTOBELLOS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
• In a medium bowl, combine chicken, broccoli (with liquid from package), sun-dried tomatoes with oil from jar, and bread crumbs. Toss to combine.
• Arrange mushroom caps, stem side up, on prepared baking sheet. Fill each mushroom cap with chicken mixture. Roast 20 minutes, until filling is golden brown and mushrooms are tender.

PESTO-STUFFED PORTOBELLO BURGERS

Steps:

• Carefully remove the stems from the portobellos and scoop out the gills using a spoon. In a large bowl, toss the portobellos with 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, pepper, crushed garlic and chopped basil. Marinate for 30 minutes.
• Heat remaining oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the portobellos (in batches if necessary), rounded side down, and cook 7 minutes. Flip the mushrooms over and cook another 5 to 7 minutes. The mushrooms should be releasing liquid. Flip over again so the cavity is up, and spread a heaped tablespoon of pesto in each cavity. Cook another 2 minutes, until the mushrooms are tender and juicy and the pesto is warm. The mushrooms will release more liquid into the pan, then the liquid will evaporate. Serve on hamburger buns if desired.

STUFFED PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS WITH EGG AND PESTO

Steps:

• Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Use a damp cloth to remove any dirt from mushrooms. Cut stems off and use a spoon to remove gills, being careful not to break sides of the mushrooms. If there is not enough room for an egg, scrape out a bit of the mushroom flesh. Brush mushroom tops with olive oil and place, top-sides down, on the prepared baking sheet.
• Broil in the preheated oven until mushrooms start to release liquid, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from oven and reduce heat to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Pour out any accumulated liquid from the mushrooms and pat the insides dry with a paper towel. Return mushrooms to the baking sheet. Lightly brush the foil with additional oil to prevent sticking.
• Spread 1 tablespoon pesto into each mushroom. Gently crack an egg into each mushroom and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until whites are set and egg yolks are done to your liking, 12 to 15 minutes. Garnish with parsley.
