Ingredients

• 4 large Portobello mushrooms
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cups Panko breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoons Dried Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1.5 cups Marinara sauce
• 1 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 4 leaves Fresh basil leaves

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Clean the portobello mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel. Remove the stems and gills if desired, then set aside.

Step 3

Set up a breading station: place flour in one shallow dish, whisked eggs in another, and a mixture of panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a third dish.

Step 4

Dredge each mushroom cap in the flour, shaking off excess, then dip into the egg wash, and finally coat thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture.

Step 5

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear the breaded mushrooms for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and crispy. Transfer the mushrooms to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6

Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on top of each mushroom, then sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm as a main dish with a side salad or as a side dish to complement pasta.
