Remove from the heat and stir in the 2 tablespoons of the basil, 2 tablespoons of the parsley and the cheese and let cool slightly.
• Heat the grill to high.
• Brush the mushroom caps on both sides with the remaining oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the mushrooms on the grill, top side down and cook until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Remove the mushrooms from the grill and place on a flat surface, cap side down. Fill the mushrooms with the sausage mixture and top each with a few slices of tomato. Season the tomatoes with salt and pepper and place on the grill, cap side down, close the cover and cook until the mushroom and filling have heated through, the cheese has melted and the tomatoes are soft, about 5 minutes.

• Meanwhile, heat remaining tablespoon of olive oil in skillet or frying pan over medium high heat and saute onion and remaining garlic until onion is translucent and garlic is slightly browned.
• Add the diced mushroom stems, diced tomato and frozen spinach and continue to cook until spinach is heated and all liquid is evaporated.
• After the mushrooms are done roasting, remove them from the oven and preheat the broiler.
• Crumble the cheese in a medium sized bowl using a fork, and, once the veggies are done sauteing, add them to the bowl and mix well.
• Reduce heat to medium and toast the panko in your frying pan until lightly browned.

• To serve, top with the basil, drizzle with the balsamic glaze and sprinkle with salt to taste.
• (If making from scratch, prepare while mushrooms are in the oven.) Combine sugar (if using) and vinegar in a small saucepan over high heat and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low; allow to simmer for 5-8 minutes or until mixture has thickened and reduced to a glaze. (If not using sugar, allow to reduce for 12-15 minutes on low heat).
