Savory portobello mushrooms stuffed with creamy seasoned goat cheese and topped with toasted Italian bread crumbs. So delicious, and yet so easy!
Preheat oven to 350*.
Clean mushrooms, remove stems, and use a spoon to scrape out the dark gills. Spray the mushrooms with cooking spray and place them stem-side up on a foil-lined cookie sheet. Sprinkle with pepper. Bake for 8 minutes.
Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a small pan and toss the Italian bread crumbs in the butter. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix together the cup of goat cheese, 1 teaspoon of lemon juice, 1 tablespoon chopped chives, and salt and pepper to taste.
Remove mushrooms from oven. Top each mushroom with 1/4 cup of the cheese mixture and sprinkle with toasted seasoned bread crumbs. Return them to the oven and bake an additional 5 - 7 minutes or until the mushrooms are tender.
