Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces large cremini or white button mushrooms
- 100 grams Gorgonzola cheese
- 50 grams cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons breadcrumb (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel and gently remove the stems. Set aside the caps and finely chop the removed stems.
In a medium bowl, combine Gorgonzola cheese, cream cheese, parsley, minced garlic, chopped mushroom stems, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
If using breadcrumbs, stir them into the filling mixture for added texture.
Using a small spoon, carefully stuff each mushroom cap with the prepared Gorgonzola mixture. Make sure the filling is slightly mounded on top of each cap.
Brush each stuffed mushroom lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking and assist with grilling.
Preheat the grill to medium heat (about 375°F/190°C). If using a grilling basket or tray, spray it lightly with oil to avoid sticking.
Place the mushrooms directly on the grill or in the prepared grilling basket. Close the grill lid and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is golden and bubbling.
Carefully remove the mushrooms from the grill and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
Garnish with additional chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm as an appetizer or side dish.
