Ingredients
~6 portobello mushroom caps
~2 garlic cloves
~¼ cup balsamic vinegar
~¼cup olive oil

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Remove stems from mushrooms. Mince garlic cloves. In a small bowl, mix the garlic with all the balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Place mushrooms on a baking sheet and brush the front and back of each mushroom with the vinegar-oil mixture. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and let sit for 15 minutes. Chop the mozzarella into ¼ inch chunks. Finely dice the tomatoes and place in a calendar to drain and sprinkle with salt. Thinly slice the basil leaves.
