Ingredients
- Finely grated zest of 2 lemons
- 1 tablespoon chopped basil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup panko
- 3 tablespoons chopped parsley
- Ten 3- to 4-inch-wide portobello mushroom caps, black gills removed
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 3 ounces of shredded Gruyère
- 3 ounces of shredded Muenster
- 3 ounces of shredded mozzarella

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 °. Brush the mushroom caps on both sides with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place on a large rimmed baking sheet, gill side down, and bake until tender, about 20 minutes, then turn gill side up.
- In a large bowl, combine the cheeses with the lemon zest, basil, three-fourths of the minced garlic and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Season the cheese filling with salt and pepper. Mound the stuffing onto the mushroom caps. Bake the stuffed mushrooms until the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
