4 portobello mushrooms, stems removed
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
Kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 slice white bread, crust removed and torn into very small (about 1/4 inch) pieces
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
3 tablespoons oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, finely chopped
4 teaspoons tomato paste
2 ounces part-skim mozzarella, thinly sliced
6 to 8 small basil leaves, torn

1
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
2
Scrape out the gills of the mushrooms with a spoon, being careful not to break the cap.
3
Rub the mushrooms with 2 tablespoons of the oil and half the garlic.
4
Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon oregano.
5
Place the mushrooms, gill-side up, on the prepared baking sheet, and roast until tender, 15 to 25 minutes.
6
(If the mushrooms are thicker than 1 inch, they will take longer to cook.)
7
Meanwhile, toss the bread pieces in a medium bowl with the remaining garlic, 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon oregano, 1/4 teaspoon salt and the red pepper flakes.
8
Transfer them to a medium skillet over medium heat, and stir until they turn golden and crisp on the edges, 5 to 6 minutes.
9
Return the croutons to the bowl.
10
While the mushrooms are still hot, pat them dry with a paper towel.
11
Top each with 1 teaspoon tomato paste, spread evenly, and slices of mozzarella to cover.
12
Divide the sun-dried tomatoes and croutons between the 4 mushrooms, and place in the oven to melt the cheese, 4 to 5 minutes.
13
Sprinkle with basil leaves.
14
Cut each mushroom into 4 to 8 pieces, depending on the size of the mushroom.
