Can you tell we love portobello mushrooms? They provide such a deep umami flavor and tonight they're the perfect base for vibrant Mediterranean flavors.
Smarts: You can definitely scale up and make more of these. Bake them all off and then freeze them individually for easy reheating later.

Make

Preheat oven to 300F (149C) degrees.
Spread kale leaves onto a sheet pan. Use two pans if they’re too packed on one. Toss with olive oil and then bake for 8 to 12 minutes until leaves are crispy. If they start to brown too much at the edges, they’re definitely done! Sprinkle with salt right out of the oven.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add cooking oil and then place portobellos cap side up. Sear for 2 to 3 minutes and then flip. Lightly salt and pepper and then spoon in pepper and cheese filling into mushrooms. Cover with foil and cook until mushroom is tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
Warm up buns in the oven. Assemble sandwiches with stuffed mushrooms, tartar sauce, and sliced tomatoes. Enjoy with kale chips!
