Mascarpone Portobello Mushrooms Recipe

We love how portobellos are the perfect size and shape to be vessels for almost any stuffing. In this case, we mixed up a delicious tapenade-style mix of olives, anchovies and herbs, and blended it with creamy cream cheese. A sprinkle of parmigiano and a quick turn on the grill and we have incredible appetizers or an amazing side dish.
