Ingredients
  

4 large Portobello mushrooms, stems removed

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup fresh mozzarella balls, halved (or diced fresh mozzarella)

1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped

2 tablespoons balsamic glaze

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese for topping

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Prepare the Mushrooms: Clean the Portobello mushrooms with a damp cloth and remove the stems. Gently scoop out the insides if desired to create more space for the filling.

      Mix the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes, mozzarella balls, chopped basil, balsamic glaze, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until all ingredients are well mixed.

        Stuff the Mushrooms: Place the prepared Portobello mushrooms on a baking sheet, gill side up. Generously spoon the tomato and mozzarella mixture into each mushroom cap.

          Add Toppings: If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the stuffed mushrooms for an extra layer of flavor.

            Bake: Bake the stuffed mushrooms in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the cheese is melty and golden brown.

              Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Drizzle with additional balsamic glaze if desired and garnish with extra basil leaves before serving.
