1. Pre-Heat oven to 200°C in 4D Hot Air mode.

5. Slice Halloumi cheese.

6. Remove stems from the Portobello mushrooms, lay them out on a baking tray and brush the mushrooms generously with softened butter.

7. Spread 1 tablespoon of pesto paste on each mushroom and then, stuff mushrooms with the sliced Halloumi cheese.

8. Bake for about 10 minutes in the oven using 4D HotAir mode till slightly brown and sprinkle on the rest of the Parmesan cheese.

9. Continue baking for another 5 minutes in Grill mode on the top rack and garnish with some rock salt, freshly cracked black pepper and parsley.
