Baked Garlic Portobello Mushrooms

This is a tasty, easy starter for an Italian meal or a cold winter night.  Good parmesian cheese really makes this dish sing.

Ingredients

4-5 Portabello mushrooms, cleaned and stems removed

3-4 T butter, melted

2 cloves garlic, crushed

a few pinches of dried or fresh herbs of your choice (I recommend rosemary, oregano, or parsley)

salt and pepper to taste

1/3 c grated parmesian or asiago cheese

Instructions

1) Place mushrooms face up on a lightly greased baking tray, and preheat oven to 200C/400F.

2) Combine butter, garlic, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Distribute mixture evenly over mushrooms.

3) Bake uncovered for 10 minutes, sprinkle lightly with cheese, and bake another 10-15 minutes until done.
