Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and then the mushrooms.

Categories     side-dish

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 large clove garlic, finely grated
4 large portobello mushrooms, stemmed
2 tablespoons whole-wheat panko breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh oregano
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 medium tomato, cut into 4 slices about 1/2 inch thick
4 ounces fresh salted mozzarella, cut into 4 slices

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack in the top position, 3 inches below the broiler. Preheat the broiler. Whisk together 1 tablespoon of the oil and the garlic in a small bowl. Brush the rounded side of the mushroom caps with the garlic oil and arrange on a rimmed baking sheet, gill-side down.
  • Stir together the breadcrumbs, oregano and remaining teaspoon oil in a second small bowl; set aside.
  • Broil the mushrooms until browned, about 2 minutes. Turn each cap over, sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and broil until just softened, about 1 minute. Top each with a tomato slice, sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon salt and broil until the tomatoes are softened and just cooked through, about 2 minutes. Top with the mozzarella, sprinkle with the breadcrumb mixture and broil until the breadcrumbs are browned, the mozzarella is melted and the mushrooms are fully cooked, about 45 seconds. Transfer to a platter and serve warm.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you begin cooking, make sure all of your ingredients are prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Choose Fresh Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of your cheesy mushroom spinach cakes. Opt for fresh mushrooms, spinach, and herbs for the best flavor.
  • Don't Overcook the Mushrooms: Mushrooms can quickly become rubbery if overcooked. Cook them just until they are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Use a Good Quality Cheese: The cheese is a key ingredient in these cakes, so make sure to use a variety that you enjoy. A sharp cheddar or Gruyère are both good choices.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can make the cakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Cook the Cakes Over Medium Heat: Cooking the cakes over medium heat will help them cook evenly without burning.
  • Serve the Cakes Immediately: Cheesy mushroom spinach cakes are best served hot out of the pan. They can be paired with a variety of dipping sauces, such as ranch dressing, sour cream, or salsa.

Conclusion:
