Ingredients:

4 mushrooms
340g
2 tbsp olive oil
27g
1 tsp garlic powder
3.10g
1 tsp salt
6g
1 tomato
120g
3 slices mozzarella cheese
510g
4 leafs basil
2g

Instructions:

1. Prep the Mushrooms:
- Clean the portabella mushrooms by wiping them with a damp cloth or paper towel to remove any dirt.
- Remove the stems and gently scrape out the gills using a spoon if desired (this step is optional but helps to make more room for the fillings).
2. Season the Mushrooms:
- In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, and salt.
- Brush both sides of each mushroom cap with the olive oil mixture, ensuring they are well-coated.
3. Prepare the Grill:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F or 190°C).
4. Grill the Mushrooms:
- Place the mushroom caps on the grill, gill side down, and cook for about 5-7 minutes.
- Flip the mushrooms and grill for another 5-7 minutes, or until tender.

5. Prepare the Fillings:
- While the mushrooms are grilling, slice the tomato into thin rounds.
- Tear or cut the mozzarella slices into portions that will fit comfortably inside the mushroom caps.
6. Assemble and Melt:
- Once the mushrooms are tender, place them gill side up on the grill.
- Layer each mushroom cap with 1-2 slices of tomato.
- Top the tomatoes with even portions of mozzarella cheese.
- Close the grill lid and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. Finish with Basil:
- Remove the mushrooms from the grill using tongs.
- Immediately garnish each mushroom with a fresh basil leaf.
8. Serve:
- Transfer the grilled mushrooms to a serving platter.
- Serve hot, and enjoy these delicious grilled tomato and mozzarella portabella mushrooms as a main dish or a hearty appetizer!

Tips:

- Choose large, firm portabella mushrooms for grilling, as they hold their shape better and provide a good surface for the toppings.

- If you prefer a more intense garlic flavor, use freshly minced garlic instead of garlic powder.

- Experiment with different types of cheese, such as provolone or gouda, for a unique twist on the classic mozzarella topping.

- Adding a drizzle of balsamic glaze just before serving can enhance the flavor and add a touch of sweetness.

- Make sure to preheat the grill properly and oil the grates to prevent the mushrooms from sticking.

Once you've prepared and grilled these delectable tomato and mozzarella portabella mushrooms, you'll have a mouthwatering dish that will impress your family and friends. Enjoy this savory and nutritious meal that showcases the perfect blend of fresh ingredients and rich flavors.
