Grilled Havarti Mushrooms Recipes

GRILLED PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• In a shallow baking dish, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, soy sauce, rosemary, garlic powder, black pepper, and cayenne. Taste and adjust seasonings if you like. Add the mushrooms and turn to coat. Let sit for 5 minutes on one side, then flip and let sit 5 additional minutes. While the mushrooms marinate, prep the grill and anything you'd like to serve with them. You can let them sit for up to 30 minutes, so feel free to take your time-the longer they sit, the more intense the flavor will be.
• Heat a grill or a large skillet over medium heat (about 350 to 400 degrees F). Brush the grill with oil to prevent sticking. Remove the mushrooms from the bowl, shaking off any excess marinade and reserving the marinade for basting. Cook on each side for 3-4 minutes, or until caramelized and deep golden brown. Brush the remaining marinade over the mushrooms several times as they cook.
• To serve, top the portobello mushrooms with the avocado sauce or any topping you like.

GRILLED PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS WITH HAVARTI CHEESE

Steps:

• 1. Break or cut cap off mushroom. Clean with a damp paper towel or clean tea towel. Do not submerge mushroom in water to clean.
• 2. Brush with olive oil or Zesty Italian dressing between the gills and then turn the mushroom over and lay in either olive oil or Zesty Italian dressing to marinate for at least one hour. Preheat grill to Medium-Medium high.
• 3. Right before grilling, shake excess marinate off.Season the side you are placing down first with salt and pepper. (I use garlic salt and pepper) Place on hot grill. Season side facing up right away with salt and pepper. (or garlic salt and pepper) Grill on each side until mushroom starts to shrivel or lose it's shape slightly. You want it to either start to caramelize or get deep/dark grill marks. Be patient, this can take time.
• 4. Right before you pull the mushrooms off the grill, place a slice (I use 2) of Havarti cheese on top of each mushroom and close the lid for 30 seconds. It will melt fast.
• 5. Serve topped with Avocado salsa (see my recipe) or baby arugula or spinach and either some homemade strawberry vinaigrette or mustard vinaigrette. Enjoy! https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/salsa/avocado-salsa-annettes.html?p=1

THREE-CHEESE GRILLED CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat pan to medium-high heat and spread butter evenly across.
• Cut figs and mushrooms into smaller pieces and saute in the pan, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Layer six slices of cheese onto one slice of hearth bread with 1/2 cup figs and 1/2 cup shiitake mushrooms. Layer remaining cheese, figs, and mushrooms onto another slice. Cover each sandwich with remaining bread and toast in the pan, allowing the cheese to melt, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
• Cut sandwiches in half and serve.
