Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Gently clean the Portobello mushrooms, remove the stems and scrape out the gills using a spoon, ensuring not to break the mushroom caps.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until it turns fragrant, which should take about 1 minute.
- Next, add the finely chopped Swiss chard to the skillet. Cook until it wilts and turns a vibrant green color, about 5 minutes. Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and freshly chopped thyme.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly. Once cooled, stir in the crumbled goat cheese, mixing it well with the Swiss chard.
- Arrange the cleaned portobello mushroom caps on a baking sheet. Fill each cap with an equal portion of the Swiss chard and goat cheese mixture.
- Transfer the baking sheet into the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the cheese has melted and turned a golden hue.
- Serve these elegant stuffed portobello mushrooms warm as a delightful appetizer or a light main course.
Tips
- For a vegan option, substitute goat cheese with your favorite vegan cheese.
- For an added crunch, consider adding toasted pine nuts to the filling.
