Description

These broiled portobello mushrooms are stuffed with a cheesy blend of grilled summer vegetables for a vegetarian-friendly dish that's great for entertaining.

Ingredients

2 small yellow squash, thinly sliced
2 small zucchini, thinly sliced
2 small green bell peppers, thinly sliced
1 small onion, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons garlic and herb seasoning blend (such as Mrs. Dash®)
4 large portobello mushroom caps
1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup pineapple chunks

Directions

1 Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Turn on the oven's broiler to a low setting.
2 Combine squash, zucchini, peppers, onion, 2 tablespoons olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and 2 1/2 tablespoons seasoning blend in a bowl. Mix well.
3 Cook on the preheated grill until tender, 7 to 8 minutes.
4 While vegetables are cooking, rub remaining olive oil on outsides and insides of mushrooms. Lay face-down on a baking sheet and sprinkle remaining seasoning blend over.
5 Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler on very low setting.
6 Broil until slightly darkened, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove mushrooms and turn upside-down. Fill mushrooms with grilled vegetables, then top with Parmesan and mozzarella cheese. Return to the broiler until cheese is lightly toasted, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle parsley around edges of serving plates, and put a few pineapple chunks on each mushroom for that "extra" touch to make it fancy!
