Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Clean the portobello mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel. Remove the stems and gills if desired, then set aside.
Set up a breading station: place flour in one shallow dish, whisked eggs in another, and a mixture of panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a third dish.
Dredge each mushroom cap in the flour, shaking off excess, then dip into the egg wash, and finally coat thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear the breaded mushrooms for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and crispy. Transfer the mushrooms to the prepared baking sheet.
Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on top of each mushroom, then sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
Serve warm as a main dish with a side salad or as a side dish to complement pasta.
