I am legit the only person in my family that enjoys mushrooms. My husband has just come around to enjoying the dry ones on his salad, but offer anyone a cooked mushroom and they all run. And I get it – mushrooms are earthy and kind of dirt like. They fall under the category that a lot of ground veggies (like beets, radishes and okra) fall into – which is an “acquired taste.”

But I love them and if you do too, this blue cheese stuffed Portobello mushroom cap is only 3 ingredients to deliciousness.

RECIPE NOTE: 2 oz. of cheese is equivalent to 4 tablespoons.

Bake mushroom caps for 17-20 minutes, till the mushroom is tender, cheese is slightly melty, and the bread crumbs have a slight brown.

Serve immediately while still warm and gooey in the center.
