Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon ground pepper

  • 4 portobello mushrooms (about 14 ounces), stems and gills removed (see Tip)

  • ¾ cup shredded extra-sharp Cheddar cheese

  • cup sour cream

  • 2 scallions, thinly sliced, divided

  • 4 slices cooked bacon, chopped

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

  2. Combine oil, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Using a silicone brush, coat mushrooms all over with the oil mixture. Place the mushrooms on a large rimmed baking sheet and bake until mostly soft, about 10 minutes.

  3. Meanwhile, stir cheese, sour cream and all but 1 tablespoon scallions in a medium bowl. Once the mushrooms have softened, remove from the oven; fill with the cheese mixture and sprinkle with bacon. Bake until the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes more. Sprinkle with the reserved scallions.

Tips

Tip: To prepare portobello mushroom caps, gently twist off the stems of whole portobellos. Using a spoon, scrape off the brown gills from the underside of the mushroom caps. If you prefer, purchase portobello mushroom caps, rather than whole mushrooms.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
