Sam's Place: baked portobello mushroom recipe

We have been making this baked portobello mushroom recipe for years. This is perfect if you have a meatless day in your menu as a complete meal served with a vegetable, and these are oh! so healthy. Or, these make a great starter to any meal.

Cheese stuffed portobello mushroom caps with goat cheese and topped off with chopped nuts, mozzarella cheese and served with a tasty tomato sauce.

So, the other day Fran picked up 3 nice portobello mushrooms and an 8 oz. package of goat cheese. We had everything else we to make these.

First, we cleaned and rinsed the mushrooms. I poured 1/2 cup of tomato sauce in the bottom of a 9-inch x 9-inch baking pan. Then sprinkled some Italian Season in the sauce.

I chopped the nuts for the topping in my mini food processor. You can use any kind of nuts that you like, I used walnuts, sunflower seeds, and pine nuts. I just pulsed them a few times so the nuts were still course. You can also chop them finely if you like them that way.

Next, I placed them in the pan and added the goat cheese, I used a little more than a tablespoon for each mushroom. Then I sprinkled shredded mozzarella and topped them off with the chopped nuts. Bake these at 350 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes.

The ingredients that we used here would be enough to make 4 or 5 of these, any more than that you will need more goat cheese, sauce, and nuts.
