Portabella Parmesan

Here is a recipe for Portabella Parmesan we've enjoyed a few times. I don't exactly remember where we found it (food network, probably, so perhaps Giada?), but it has consistently been an easy and tasty dish.

That looks awesome. Think it'll work with a George Foreman grill?

It definitely would work, although since the Foreman cooks both sides at once, you could cut the grilling time considerably.

Russ needed a quick recipe the other day and I recommended your Portabella Parmesan. He really liked it! I look forward to trying it myself someday.
