Instructions
Preheat your oven or smoker to 375 degrees. Spray or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Clean your portobello mushroom lightly using a soft scrub brush or cool water.
Let dry and then using a small spoon, gently scoop the gills out of the inside of the mushroom. With a small knife, remove the stalk.
Rub each mushroom with a bit of olive oil and set them on the prepared baking sheet, stalk side up.
In a large bowl, mix together ground meat, onion, red pepper, garlic, oregano, red pepper flake and salt & pepper thoroughly.
Add the egg to the mixture.
Gently roll in the goat cheese making sure to not break all the chunks down.
Spread the mixture out evenly in the pan and then using a spoon, slice through like a pie to divide equally. Stuff each mushroom with a quarter of the mixture.
Bake the stuffed portobello mushrooms in the oven or on the grill for about 35 to 40 minutes.
Top each mushroom with about 1 tablespoon of the mozzarella and continue baking for another 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cheese is just beginning to get golden on top.

Deb's Tips
Although it isn't necessary to remove the stem, it can sometimes be a bit woody-tasting, so it is good practice to do so.
Substitute the portobello mushrooms for zucchini or summer squash for another delicious variation.
