Cherry & Fontina Stuffed Portobellos image

I developed this hearty appetizer for my mushroom-lovin' kids. They're grown now with families of their own, but they still request these when they come home. -Wendy Rusch, Trego, Wisconsin

These stuffed portobellos were easy to make and turned out great! I used a mix of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese, and added some chopped sun-dried tomatoes. My family loved them!

I'm not usually a fan of mushrooms, but these stuffed portobellos were delicious! The cheese was melted and gooey, and the cherries added a touch of sweetness. I'll definitely be making these again.

These portobello mushrooms were a hit at my last dinner party! The combination of cherries, fontina cheese, and fresh herbs was unique and flavorful. I especially loved the crispy breadcrumb topping.
