Goat Cheese and Sun-Dried Tomato-Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms
These juicy stuffed portobello mushrooms finished off with a balsamic glaze are the answer to meaty cravings. My favorite way to eat this dish is on a bed of simply dressed greens. It also works as appetizers if you swap in small mushrooms for the big ones. While cooking the mushrooms, don’t be alarmed if moisture begins to pool on the sheet pan. It’s normal and doesn’t mean they’ll be soggy. The balsamic glaze, thicker and sweeter than balsamic vinegar, adds an essential richness. I rely on store bought balsamic glaze since I don’t love stirring vinegar and sugar over a hot stove. You can generally find it in grocery stores next to the balsamic vinegar.
