Question

How long should I roast a portobello mushroom when it is filled with tomato and cheese?

Community Answer

For best results, try par-cooking the mushroom before you stuff it. Once the mushroom is halfway cooked, stuff it and cook until the contents are heated through, usually about 15-20 minutes.
