Portobello Mushrooms Quattro Formaggi

Since you might have some fresh salsa hanging around after making the lentil soup below, use it on some mushrooms and get mellow.  I am reminded of cafes in Florence, where you might see these mushrooms adorned with fresh basil.  Here, I enrich with fresh pico de gallo salsa.
4 large Portabello mushroom caps
2 cups grated quattro formaggi cheese blend
8 Tbsp fresh salsa (preferably hot)
Extra virgin olive oil

Preheat oven to 375F.  Drizzle some oil into the fins of each mushroom.
Sprinkle 1/2 cup cheese onto each cap.  Top each cap with 2 tablespoons salsa. 
Bake for 30 minutes, until cheese is bubbly and mushroom caps are cooked through.

Serves 4 as appetizers.
