Ingredients

• Portobello mushrooms - 4 large
• Ground beef (or turkey) - 200 grams
• Shredded mozzarella cheese - 100 grams
• Parmesan cheese (grated) - 30 grams
• Garlic (minced) - 2 cloves
• Fresh parsley (chopped) - 2 tablespoons

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).

3. In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
