Method
Mushrooms & Prep
Clean and remove stems
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Wipe each portobello cap with a damp paper towel to remove dirt. Use a spoon to gently scrape out and discard the gills if you prefer a cleaner cavity for filling (optional).
Season
Place mushroom caps gill-side up on a rimmed baking sheet. Brush each cap with about 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil. Season the inside and outer surface with a light sprinkle of salt and about 1/4 teaspoon black pepper per two mushrooms (adjust evenly).
Cheese Filling
Make the filling
In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, grated Parmesan, shredded mozzarella, minced garlic, chopped parsley, lemon zest, and 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper. Mix until smooth and homogenous. Taste and adjust salt if needed (Parmesan is salty; start without extra salt).
Fill the caps
Divide the cheese mixture evenly among the four mushroom caps, mounding it into the cavity and smoothing the top so the filling sits level with the mushroom rims.
Cherry Tomato Salad
Combine salad
While mushrooms bake, in a small bowl combine halved cherry tomatoes, finely diced red onion, sliced basil, 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon red wine vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper. Toss gently to combine and let sit for 10 minutes to marry flavors.
Finishing & Garnish
Plate and finish
Remove mushrooms from oven and let sit 2 minutes. Spoon a generous tablespoon (or more to preference) of the cherry tomato salad onto each stuffed mushroom, distributing evenly. Drizzle about 1/4 teaspoon of truffle oil over each finished mushroom (adjust to taste; truffle oil is intense). Garnish with microgreens or extra parsley if using.
Serve
Serve warm as an appetizer or light main. Provide extra lemon wedges or cracked black pepper at the table if desired.
