This stuffed portobello’s flavors are not subtle. The smoked provolone cheese really adds a salty, powerful  mouthful. Cutting it into bite-sizes pieces gives it a nicer look, almost like cake, and makes it easy to serve at a party.  It’s best to use a cheese with a high-melting point, like the provolone in this dish, or else you will get a melty mess. I included this recipe in our theme for a Smoky Party plan, so head to this link to see more recipes featuring a smoky bent.
