Ingredients

  • 8 Portobello Mushrooms Sliced
  • 120 g Mozzarella Cheese Grated
  • 60 g Parmigiano Reggiano Grated
  • 5 g Flat Leaf Parsley Chopped
  • 4 g Onion Powder
  • 0.5 g Dried Oregano
  • 0.5 g Dried Thyme
  • 0.5 g Dried Basil
  • 2 g Sweet Paprika
  • 180 ml Thickened Cream
  • 4 Garlic Cloves Minced
  • Salt & Pepper To Taste

Method

  • Preheat oven to 200°C (390°F).
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese, Parmigiano Reggiano, flat-leaf parsley, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, dried basil and sweet paprika. Mix together and set aside.
  • In another bowl, combine the thickened cream and garlic. Whisk together and set aside.
  • Remove the stems from the portobello mushrooms so they can sit flat. Slice the mushrooms and stems into 1cm strips. Lay the mushrooms and stems neatly in a baking dish. It's okay to stack them on top of one another.
  • Pour over the cream and garlic mix, and sprinkle over the cheese and herb mix. Spread it out evenly, ensuring everything is covered.
  • Cover the baking dish with aluminium foil and bake for 25 minutes. After 25 minutes, remove the foil, return the mushrooms to the oven, and grill/broil for 5 minutes or until the cheese is golden brown. Dig in.
Chef's Tips
Slice the mushrooms and stems to a similar thickness — this keeps the bake time even, so nothing's left undercooked while other pieces turn soft and watery.
Spread the cheese and herb topping right to the edges of the dish — any bare patches of cream will bubble up without browning, leaving an uneven finish.
Keep an eye on it during the final grill — cheese can go from golden to burnt quickly under a broiler, so it's worth watching rather than walking away.
Storage & Reheating
Will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days in an airtight container. Not recommended for freezing — the cream sauce will split and turn watery once thawed. Reheat in the oven at 180°C (350°F), covered, until warmed through, or in the microwave for a quicker option.
