Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 500 grams mushrooms
- 200 grams mozzarella cheese
Seasonings:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt
- Pepper
Garnish:
- Fresh basil
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat at 350F. Carefully slide 2 tablespoons of oil into the pan.
- Drop 500g of sliced mushrooms into the hot skillet. Sauté until they release their moisture and turn tender, about 6-7 minutes.
- Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, a pinch of salt, and a dash of pepper over the mushrooms. Stir to distribute seasonings evenly.
- Transfer the seasoned mushrooms into a clean baking dish, spreading them in an even layer.
- Generously shower 200g of shredded mozzarella cheese across the mushroom surface, ensuring complete coverage.
- Slide the baking dish into a preheated oven at 350F. Bake for exactly 20 minutes until the cheese melts and develops golden-brown edges.
- Remove the dish from the oven. Let it rest for 2-3 minutes to allow cheese to set slightly.
- Tear fresh basil leaves and scatter them over the top just before serving for a bright, aromatic finish.
Notes
- Always slice mushrooms evenly to ensure consistent cooking and texture throughout the dish.
- Use fresh mozzarella for a creamier, more luxurious melting quality that elevates the entire bake.
- For a low-carb version, substitute regular cheese with a dairy-free alternative and add some chopped herbs for extra flavor.
- Let the mushrooms release their moisture completely before transferring to the baking dish to prevent a watery final result.
