Here's an easy summer recipe that takes only a few minutes to prepare and cook but looks quite elegant to serve to guests for dinner, Grilled Caprese Style Portobellos.
Portobello mushroom caps are the perfect mushroom for the job. Topped with fresh tomato and deliciously creamy mozzarella cheese and these will melt in your mouth!
Portobellos are thick and hearty so it's a substantial meatless meal or an appetizer to get your party started. 🙂
So low in calories and carbs you could enjoy two if it's serving as your dinner!
