Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare the Mushrooms: Gently coat the mushroom caps with olive oil, ensuring even coverage. Place the mushrooms, cavity-up, in a grill-safe dish. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step

Craft the Blue Cheese Butter: In a mixing bowl, combine the blue cheese, softened butter, minced garlic, and chopped fresh basil. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly until a well-combined, creamy mixture forms. (Prep time: 10 minutes)

03

Step

Stuff and Grill: Carefully scoop the blue cheese butter mixture evenly into the cavity of each mushroom cap, mounding slightly. Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate to prevent sticking. Place the dish with the stuffed mushrooms onto the preheated grill. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

04

Step

Grill to Perfection: Cook the mushrooms until they are tender and the blue cheese butter is melted and bubbling, about 5-7 minutes, depending on the heat of your grill. Monitor closely to prevent burning. (Cook time: 5-7 minutes)

05

Step

Serve Immediately: Remove the grilled mushrooms from the grill and serve immediately. Garnish with additional fresh basil, if desired. (Rest time: 2 minutes)

For a deeper, smokier flavor, use wood chips, such as hickory or mesquite, in your grill. Consider using cremini or portobello mushrooms for a larger, heartier version of this recipe. If you don't have fresh basil, 1 teaspoon of dried basil can be substituted, though fresh is highly recommended.
For a vegetarian option, ensure the blue cheese used is vegetarian-friendly, as some varieties contain animal rennet.
