Caprese Stuffed Mushrooms

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400˚F.

Step 2

Prepare the mushrooms by gently popping off the stems. Then, using a spoon, remove the brown gills from inside the cap. Wash the mushroom caps and pat dry with paper towels. Set aside.

Step 3

Melt butter in a small bowl and whisk in parsley, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.

Step 4

Brush the garlic butter mixture all over the mushrooms.

Step 5

Transfer mushrooms to a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until softened.

Step 6

Remove mushrooms from oven; arrange previously prepared cheese balls and tomatoes inside each mushroom cap. Place the cheese and tomatoes close together. You can always add more, or use less, tomatoes and cheese.

Step 7

Season with remaining salt and pepper.

Step 8

Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, or until cheese is completely melted.

Step 9

Remove from oven.

Step 10

Top mushrooms with fresh basil and drizzle with balsamic glaze.

Step 11

Serve.
