Ingredients
- 4 large, stems removed portobello mushrooms
- 4 oz, stems removed and chopped kale
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place portobello caps upside down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush tops with 1 tbsp olive oil, season with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper, and bake for 10 minutes to soften.
- Step 2: While mushrooms bake, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chopped kale and cook for 4-5 minutes until wilted and tender, stirring occasionally.
- Step 3: Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese until melted and combined, then remove from heat.
- Step 4: Spoon kale-feta mixture evenly into the baked portobello caps. Drizzle with 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar and the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil. Return to oven for 8-10 minutes until cheese is bubbly and edges are golden.
- Step 5: Let rest for 3 minutes before serving, drizzling with extra balsamic glaze if desired.
