Ingredients:

• 2 large Portabella mushrooms
• 1 cup of raw, grass-fed cheese of your choice
• 3 chopped green onions (scallions)
• 2 tbsps. lemon juice
• 2 tbsps. extra virgin olive oil
• 1 clove of crushed garlic
• ½ of a diced red bell pepper
• ¼ tsp of pink salt
• ¼ tsp of black pepper
• 1 tsp of freshly chopped basil

Instructions:

Step #1:  With a spoon, scrape the gills out until the underside is mostly clean. Place them on a foil lined rimmed baking sheet.

Step #2:  Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic. Brush mushroom caps inside and out with the olive oil mixture. Sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper.

Step #3:  Pre-heat the broiler. Broil the mushrooms for 3-5 minutes until they are hot and the edges are starting to brown. They will start to release moisture and get juicy. Remove from the oven.

Step #4: Pre-heat the oven to 375. Fill the caps with the red bell pepper, cheese, and onion. Sprinkle with the fresh basil.

Step #5: Bake for 12 minutes or until hot and the cheese has softened.
