"Adapted from a Mary Ann Esposito recipe. The original called for Italian (not Danish) fontina cheese, but I had some wonderful sheep's milk feta to use up, so that's what is used here. Sheep's milk feta from Bulgaria is soft, rich, and creamy. I have two small individual baking dishes which each hold a Portobello very nicely, so use whatever works for you. I cover my little baking dishes with foil. Serve quarters as appetizers, whole mushrooms as a vegetarian main dish."

<p>This site has gotten so horribly bad over the past couple of years, I have stopped using it to manage my recipes and have gone over to using another one, which I have been forbidden to mention on Food.com. It's no secret that there are competitors; send me a message if you are in the same boat and would like to know. For now, I only frequent a few of the forums and that's it. The Titanic has sailed!</p>
