Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Place mushrooms on a tray and lightly coat with cooking spray.
2. Place mushrooms on grill, underside (gill) down, and cook, covered, 4 minutes. Uncover and using tongs, flip mushrooms; cook for 4 minutes more.
3. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine cheese, garlic powder and oregano.
4. After mushrooms have cooked for 8 minutes, remove them to a tray and reduce grill heat to medium-low. Fill each mushroom cap with about 2 tablespoons of seasoned cheese. Place mushrooms back on grill and cook, covered, until cheese melts, about 2 minutes.
5. Remove mushrooms to a serving plate and top each with 4 slices of tomato and 2 basil leaves. Yields 1 mushroom per serving.
