Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms (Including a Vegan Alternative)

So this recipe I made for my niece and I for dinner last week. My niece is Vegan so I made a non Vegan cheesy version for me and a vegan recipe for her. She is a great eater and will try anything and loves mushrooms which are typically a food most kids even a lot of adults don't like.
