How to Make Veggie Stuffed Portabella Mushrooms

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Gently scoop out the insides of 4 large portabella mushroom caps, reserving the stems. Place the stems in a food processor.
Add 16 oz (450g) cremini mushrooms to the food processor with the portabella stems. Pulse until a coarse paste forms.
In a large skillet, sauté 1/2 medium red bell pepper (finely diced) and 1/2 medium onion (finely diced) in 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat for about 5 minutes, until softened.
Add the mushroom paste to the skillet with the peppers and onions. Cook for an additional 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and slightly thickened.
While the mushroom mixture cooks, toast 2 pita breads until crispy. Crumble into a medium bowl.
Add 1 cup (200g) shredded mozzarella cheese and 2 large eggs to the bowl with the pita crumbs. Mix well to combine.
Add the cheese and egg mixture to the mushroom and vegetable mixture in the skillet. Stir until everything is evenly blended.
Rub 1 teaspoon olive oil on the top of the portabella mushroom caps and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Spoon the filling evenly into the prepared portabella mushroom caps.
Sprinkle the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese over the stuffed mushrooms.
Place the stuffed mushrooms upside down in a baking dish and bake for 20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve warm and enjoy!
