Stuffed Portobellos That Always Disappear
Share
There are nights when I don’t want complicated — I want something warm, savory, and satisfying that makes the kitchen smell amazing and feels like real food.
These stuffed portobello mushrooms do exactly that.
Big, meaty mushrooms become the perfect base for a garlicky, herby filling with sautéed greens, tomato, breadcrumbs, and cheese — all brought together with Milanese Gremolata Olive Oil and just a touch of balsamic to deepen the flavor.
I especially love using Milanese Gremolata here. The garlic, parsley, and hint of lemon brighten the earthiness of the mushrooms and keep the dish from feeling heavy. It’s one of those quiet upgrades that makes people ask, “What did you put in this?”
They’re cozy enough for a quiet night in, but honestly? Pretty impressive on a plate. Serve them as a vegetarian main, a hearty side, or slice them in half and add them to a spread with wine, salad, and crusty bread.
This is simple comfort food done well — and a great reminder that good olive oil belongs in everyday cooking, not just special occasions.

I love this dish because the Milanese Gremolata Olive Oil adds just enough garlic, parsley, and brightness to make the mushrooms irresistible.
Ingredients
- 4 large portobello mushroom caps, stems removed
-
3 tbsp Milanese Gremolata Olive Oil (plus more for drizzling)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup fresh spinach or Swiss chard, chopped
- ½ cup diced tomatoes (fresh or canned, drained)
- ½ cup breadcrumbs or panko
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
-
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly oil a baking dish.
- Place mushroom caps gill-side up in the dish. Drizzle lightly with Milanese Gremolata Olive Oil and season with salt and pepper.
- In a skillet over medium heat, warm the Milanese Gremolata Olive Oil. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Add chopped greens and cook until wilted. Stir in tomatoes and cook another 1–2 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in breadcrumbs, Parmesan, and balsamic vinegar. Season to taste.
- Spoon the filling generously into each mushroom cap.
- Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, until mushrooms are tender and tops are golden.
- Finish with a drizzle of Milanese Gremolata Olive Oil and fresh parsley before serving.
Recipe Note
