Preheat your oven to 400°F or 200°C. Lightly oil a baking dish or baking sheet that is large enough to hold your portobello mushrooms in a single layer.
2
Thoroughly clean the portobello mushrooms with a damp kitchen towel to remove any dirt. Remove the stems and place the cap, open side up, on your prepared baking dish.
3
In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, olive oil, dried thyme, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
4
Divide the garlic-infused oil evenly amongst the portobello caps, ensuring that the interior is well coated.
5
Bake the mushrooms in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until they are tender.
6
Take out the baked mushrooms from the oven and evenly distribute the shredded fontina cheese on each mushroom cap. Return the mushrooms to the oven.
7
Bake for another 5 minutes or until the cheese is thoroughly melted and gently golden.

Once baked, carefully take out the dish from the oven. Sprinkle the grated lemon zest over the cheesy mushrooms before serving.
