Cuisine: Vegetarian
Serves: 3
Ingredients
- ¼ of a sweet onion
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 2 cups chopped spinach
- ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
- 6 stuffing portobellos
- 2 ounces Pepper Jack cheese
- Optional: 2 English muffins (see note)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Finely dice a quarter of an onion (you need about ½ cup diced).
- In a pan over medium heat, sautee the diced onion with olive oil for 2 minutes and add in chopped spinach and garlic powder. Continue to sautee for 3-4 minutes on medium heat until wilted and then remove from the heat.
- Wipe the portobello mushrooms with a wet cloth to remove any dirt, and remove the stems and the gills to create a space for the filling.
- Set the portobellos on a baking sheet so that you can stuff them from the top with the onion and spinach mixture, and then add a nice slice of Pepper Jack cheese on top.
- Bake the mushrooms for 10 minutes, and then serve immediately.
Notes
Stuffing portobellos are much smaller than portobello caps. If you can only find large portobello mushrooms, use 2 large caps for this recipe and then slice them into quarters for serving at the end.
To make this dish more of a hearty snack, set each baked portobello onto a ¼ of a toasted English muffin. Use an additional slice of melted pepper jack as pictured below to bind them together.
