Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms
Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms – these mushrooms are stuffed with lots of veggies plus goat cheese and topped with mozzarella cheese.
May is Vegetarian and Seafood Month at JoCooks. As I mentioned in my previous post, I am doing this to prove to myself that you can cook a variety of dishes with no meat.
Today’s recipe is one that I am a big fan of. I love mushrooms, and I love stuffed mushrooms. Portobello mushrooms are great for stuffing because they are so big and you can really stuff them with anything. These mushrooms were so delicious, they were gone instantly. I barely had time to take some pictures of them. 🙂
Mushrooms are great for you and they are full of vitamins. I cook with mushrooms a lot, and I love to try all different kinds of mushrooms. I don’t cook much with portobello mushrooms because I normally like to grill them with a little bit of salt, or use them on burgers.
Today, portobello mushrooms are the star ingredient in my recipe. Other vegetables I used are tomatoes, spinach, onion and garlic. I also added goat cheese to the mixture for lots of flavor and topped off the mushrooms with some mozzarella cheese. To me this dish was like a carb free vegetarian pizza.

This recipe was easy and delicious! The goat cheese gives the filling a little tang which other stuffed mushrooms I’ve had lacked. The only difference I did was mixing stuffing all together then stuffing the portabello. I like my shrooms firm so I didn’t pre cook them but every thing came out gently firm and cooked through. I will definitely make these again!
jo says
So glad you liked it!
Patricia says
I made this with 2 portobellos and corn on the cob a light dinner tonight for hubby and I It was very filling (Forgot to halve the filling! 😜).
Quick question tho when ever I have made the portobello before I scrape out the gills but you never mentioned it. Should they be removed?
Jo Cooks Team says
It’s not necessary, but you can if you like!
Juanita says
Excellent! Since I’m a strong believer in the power of culinary herbs, I added a teaspoon of dried basil (California sweet) and enjoyed tremendously! Thank you for sharing…

Am always looking for great appetizers to serve on our boat. I think you could just cook up the stuffing on the stove. Then do the rest on the BBQ. Looking forward to making it!
