Egg-Topped Portobello Bakes

Homemakers Best Tested

The meaty texture of portobello mushrooms makes this a great dinner for occasional and transitional vegetarians. Serve with crusty bread and a salad for a complete dinner.

Ingredients

4 giant Portobello mushrooms
1 tbsp  (15 mL)  olive oil
2 tbsp  (30 mL)  balsamic vinegar
1/4 tsp  (2 mL)  each salt and pepper
4 tsp  (20 mL)  basil pesto
4 eggs

Preparation

Remove the stem ends from mushrooms and wipe off any clinging dirt. Using a spoon, deepen the cavity where the stem attaches to mushroom so that it leaves a depression large enough to hold a whole egg out of its shell.

Whisk oil with balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper. Brush evenly all over portobello mushrooms. Place mushrooms, gill side down, on a lightly oiled baking tray; bake in a preheated 375F (190C) oven for 5 minutes.

Turn over mushrooms and, using the back of a spoon, spread pesto over mushrooms. Break an egg into each mushroom cap and return pan to oven. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until egg is at desired doneness. Taste and season to taste with additional salt and pepper if necessary.

Makes 2 to 4 servings.
