Creating Portobello Filled Caprese Bites is a straightforward process. Follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

3. Season the Mushrooms: Brush the outside of the mushrooms with olive oil. Season the insides with salt and pepper.
4. Mix the Filling: In a bowl, combine the diced mozzarella cheese, diced tomatoes, chopped basil, and balsamic glaze. Mix until well combined.
