Take a portobello mushroom and remove the cap.

Slice the top off the mushroom cap.

Mix chili cheddar cheese, almond tile, garlic powder, onion powder, and a little bit of flour together.

Squeeze the cheese mixture into patties that can fit inside the mushroom.

Stuff the cheese patties into the mushroom cap and pop the top back on.

Bread the stuffed mushroom by first coating it in flour.

Dip the floured mushroom in egg.

Coat the mushroom in panko, pressing down to secure the coating and prevent cheese from spilling out.

Repeat the breading process for extra security, focusing on the seam.

Deep fry the stuffed mushroom until cooked low and slow.
