Baked Feta & Tomato Portobellos

(2)

These easy feta-and-tomato-stuffed portobellos make for a delicious side. Baking the mushrooms stem-side down first allows any excess liquid to release from the mushrooms so it won’t muddy the flavors of your dish. If you don’t have Calabrian chiles, substitute 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper depending on your spice preference.

Ingredients

  • 4 (4- to 5-inch) portobello mushrooms

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 2 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic

  • 1 teaspoon chopped Calabrian chiles

  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

  • 4 ounces tiny cherry tomatoes, halved if large

  • 2 ounces feta cheese, crumbled into large pieces

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 475°F. Using a spoon, gently scrape out and discard gills and stems from mushrooms, being careful to leave sides intact. Wipe tops with a damp paper towel. Place the mushroom caps, stem-side down, in a 2- to 3-quart baking dish. Bake until liquid has released, about 10 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, stir oil, garlic, chiles and oregano together in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on High until sizzling, about 15 seconds. Add tomatoes; toss until evenly coated.

  3. Remove the mushrooms from the oven; carefully transfer, stem-side down, to a paper-towel-lined plate. Wipe the baking dish clean and blot the mushrooms as dry as possible. Coat the baking dish with cooking spray. Return the mushrooms to the baking dish, stem-side up, blotting excess liquid with a paper towel. Evenly divide the tomato mixture among the mushrooms. Top with feta and drizzling with any remaining oil mixture.

  4. Bake until the tomatoes have burst and the feta is soft, 10 to 13 minutes. Sprinkle the mushrooms evenly with basil and salt; drizzle with balsamic glaze.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
