The Portobellos:
Using a pastry brush, brush the tops of the mushrooms with the butter mixture. Place them top-side down onto a baking sheet, and brush the remaining garlic butter on the underside of each mushroom.
Fill each mushroom cap with mozzarella cheese, then top each with the tomato halves. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the mushrooms are tender.

The Balsamic Reduction:
Add the vinegar and sugar to a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce the heat and gently simmer for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the mixture thickens to a glaze-like consistency.
Top each mushroom with fresh basil and drizzle with some of the glaze—season with salt and pepper to taste.
