Best Roasted Pesto Stuffed Portobellos Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Use a spoon to remove the gills from the underside of the mushrooms. Put the mushrooms in a small baking dish.
• Combine the oil, red pepper flakes, sugar, thyme and garlic in a small saucepot and heat until bubbling and aromatic. Pour the warm oil over the mushrooms, add 1/4 teaspoon salt and toss gently to coat. Cover and marinate at room temperature for at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Arrange the mushrooms on a baking pan and roast until browned and tender, about 30 minutes. Transfer the mushrooms to a serving plate and drizzle with the liquid from the pan.

• 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.
