To begin, preheat your oven to 375°F. Clean the portobello mushrooms and remove the stems. Brush the mushrooms with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the mushrooms on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until they are slightly softened.

Once the mushrooms are done baking, remove them from the oven and fill each mushroom cap with the tomato and cheese mixture. Return the mushrooms to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
When the mushrooms are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. These Caprese Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms are best served warm and can be garnished with additional fresh basil leaves for added flavor.
This dish is a perfect combination of savory and sweet flavors, with the juicy tomatoes and creamy mozzarella cheese perfectly complementing the earthy flavor of the portobello mushrooms. It is a great appetizer for any occasion and is sure to impress your guests.
