🧂 Ingredients

• 16 large white or cremini mushrooms, stems removed
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, finely chopped
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• Optional: balsamic glaze, for drizzling

🔥 Instructions

Prep the Mushrooms: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel and gently remove the stems. Lightly brush the mushroom caps with olive oil and place them on a baking sheet, hollow side up.

Mix the Filling: In a bowl, combine the chopped cherry tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, basil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until everything is evenly coated.

Stuff the Mushrooms: Spoon the filling generously into each mushroom cap, gently pressing down to keep the mixture in place.

Bake to Perfection: Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Add the Finishing Touch: Let cool slightly, then drizzle with balsamic glaze if desired before serving.
