Grilled Portobello Mushrooms with Blue Cheese
Grilled Portobellos scream to be filled with
blue cheese. The creaminess of the melted
cheese along with the smokiness of the
mushroom is very close to heaven on earth.
Ingredients:
4 Portobello mushrooms, stems removed
4 oz good quality blue cheese (not the precrumbled type)
Extra Virgin Olive oil
salt
Directions:
Heat your grill to medium-hot.
Flip the mushrooms over, sprinkle with salt and fill with the blue cheese. Reduce the heat to medium-low and grill
until the cheese has melted; roughly 15 more minutes.
Plate with a bit of aged balsamic vinegar and enjoy!
