I had some trouble finding fontina cheese at my local grocery store. I ended up using mozzarella instead, and it worked out just fine.

These portobellos were a little too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

I used goat cheese instead of fontina, and it turned out great. I think this recipe is versatile and can be customized to your liking.
