Fill the mushroom caps with the mixture and brush the entire mushroom with more olive oil. Grill over medium heat until tender.

GORGONZOLA MUSHROOM BOULE

Steps:

• Put the butter and olive oil into a large skillet and set over medium heat. Slice the onion into thin slivers and add them to the melted butter. Reduce the heat to low and cook the onions for 15 minutes until translucent.

• Add the white wine and reduce again until the pan is almost dry.
• (****The recipe can be made to this point the day before if you like. Reheat the mushroom mixture to continue with the recipe.)
• Add the crumbled gorgonzola and heavy cream. Bring to a simmer and reduce by half.
• Season, to taste, with salt and pepper, and spoon into the hollowed out boule.
• Slice baguettes, drizzle with olive oil and toast in oven.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Mix vinegar, honey, brown sugar and thyme in medium bowl. Transfer 1/2 cup marinade to small bowl; set aside. Place mushrooms in 15x10-inch glass baking dish.
