BLUE CHEESE STUFFED MUSHROOMS
I usually use reduced fat cream cheese, and reduced fat blue cheese to keep the calories and fat down. Also for a quick fix you can use chive and onion variety cream cheese. ( They also make light.)

GRILLED MUSHROOMS WITH CHIVE BUTTER
Throwing whole mushroom caps onto the grill is a standard and effortless approach, but, because of their concave shape, they often steam rather than sear on one side, which does nothing to concentrate their meaty flavor. Instead, try slicing mushrooms into thick, hearty wedges and threading them onto skewers, flat sides facing out, and you'll be able to sear them successfully. This recipe calls for seasoning the mushrooms with a paprika rub, grilling, then topping with a lemony herbed butter that offsets their smoky char. Serve them as a side, or as a vegetarian main with virtually anything: green salads, couscous salads, grilled vegetables or, for heartier appetites, potatoes of all stripes like latkes, French fries or baked potatoes.

Steps:
- Prepare the herbed butter: In a medium bowl, combine the butter, chives, garlic, lemon zest, oregano, salt and pepper. Using a large fork, mash to combine. Using a spatula, transfer the herbed butter to a piece of parchment paper, and roll the butter into a tight cylinder, twisting the edges of the paper on both sides to seal. Transfer to the refrigerator. (Butter can be made in advance and will keep for up to 2 weeks.)
- Heat your grill to high. (This is crucial to ensure that the mushrooms char.)
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, prepare the rub: Combine the salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder and smoked paprika. (Makes 2 1/2 teaspoons.)
- Prepare the mushrooms: Remove the stems and wipe the tops clean using slightly moistened paper towels. Slice each into 3/4-inch-thick strips. Transfer them to a large baking sheet, one sliced mushroom cap at a time. (Keeping the same mushrooms together will make for a more uniform appearance once you thread the mushrooms onto skewers.) Brush the sliced mushrooms all over with the olive oil, turning to coat.
- Sprinkle the rub all over the mushrooms, turning them until seasoned on all sides.
- Thread the mushrooms onto skewers: To make 4 planks, you'll need eight 10-inch skewers, using about 1/4 of the mushrooms for each plank. (You can use skewers of any length with any number of mushroom slices.) Insert a skewer through the top left side of one mushroom piece and push it through the bottom. Insert a second skewer through the top right side of the mushroom. Gently push the mushroom up toward the top of the skewers, working each side little by little, and leave at least a 1-inch handle at the top. Repeat, keeping the both skewers parallel, threading as many mushroom pieces as will fit, and leaving at least a 1-inch handle at the bottom. (Don't be too precious about threading the mushrooms. Some will break, but thread them securely and they'll still taste delicious after grilling.)
- Once you've threaded all your mushrooms, transfer them to the hot grill, flat-sides down over the flame. Cook on one side until charred, 6 to 7 minutes, then flip and cook the other side for another 6 to 7 minutes. (Don't undercook them. Grilling mushrooms until they are visibly charred concentrates their flavor and results in a pleasantly hearty, chewier texture.)
- Serve hot, topped with slices of compound butter. (You'll have more butter than you need, but any leftover butter will keep, refrigerated, for up to 2 weeks. Use on grilled or roasted vegetables, pasta, bread or rice.)
BUFFALO GRILLED MUSHROOMS
Mushrooms are at their best when cooked over high, unrelenting heat, which makes them ideal for grilling. So that they crisp instead of shrivel, toss them with more oil than you think is required and salt them only after they are cooked. As the mushrooms' moisture disappears, their earthy umami concentrates and their outsides brown. They can be eaten on their own, added to any dish that you like mushrooms in, or tossed with a sauce that their spongelike texture will soak up. Here, that's a spicy and silky classic Buffalo sauce. Top with parsley and blue cheese for crunch and coolness, then eat with your fingers or in buns. This method here works with most mushrooms, but avoid larger ones like portobellos, which, over such high heat, will burn before they're cooked through.

Steps:
- Prepare a charcoal grill for two-zone cooking over high heat by pouring the coals onto one half of the grill. For a gas grill, heat all the burners, then off turn one of the end burners before cooking. (See Tip.)
- While the grill is heating, place the mushrooms in a large bowl, and drizzle them generously with olive oil (about 6 tablespoons). Put the hot sauce and garlic in a medium cast-iron skillet.
- When you're ready to grill, bring the mushrooms, skillet, salt, cold butter, a tightly folded paper towel soaked with oil, oven mitt and tongs to the grill. (You want the butter to stay cold, so if you're worried about it melting in the sun, bring it out in a cup over ice.) Clean the grates with a grill brush, then oil the grates with the paper towel.
- Add the mushrooms gill-side up over the flame. Cook the mushrooms, turning occasionally, until well browned and tender, 6 to 15 minutes, depending on the size and type of the mushroom. For a gas grill, close the lid between flips, listening and keeping an eye out for flare-ups. If liquid collects in the mushrooms while cooking, move them to an area of the grill without fire beneath to avoid flare-ups, then flip and return to direct heat.
- When the mushrooms are almost done, add the skillet to an area of the grill without flame beneath, so that there's indirect heat. Add the mushrooms to the skillet as they finish. Season lightly with salt and add the butter, stirring to combine until glossy. Season to taste with salt, pepper and more hot sauce, then top with blue cheese and, if using, parsley.

Steps:
- In a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet, heat olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. Fry mushrooms in a single layer until golden and beginning to crisp, turning halfway through, 10-12 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Remove mushrooms; wipe out skillet., Spread 3 tablespoons butter on 1 side of each slice of bread. Place bread, butter side down, in same skillet over medium-low heat; toast until golden brown, 2-3 minutes; remove. In a small bowl, combine cheddar, Monterey Jack and Gruyere. In another bowl, mix together remaining 3 tablespoons butter, mayonnaise, Manchego cheese and onion powder., To assemble sandwiches, top toasted side of 4 bread slices with mushrooms; sprinkle with fresh thyme; add sliced Brie. Sprinkle cheddar cheese mixture evenly over Brie. Top with remaining bread slices, toasted side facing inwards. Spread the butter-mayonnaise mixture on the outsides of each sandwich.

Tips:
- Choose the right mushrooms. Portobello mushrooms are a great choice for stuffing because they are large and have a meaty texture. Other good options include shiitake, oyster, and cremini mushrooms.
- Remove the stems. Use a spoon to gently scrape out the stems from the mushrooms. Be careful not to tear the mushrooms.
- Stuff the mushrooms. Combine your desired stuffing ingredients in a bowl and spoon the mixture into the mushroom caps. You can use a variety of fillings, such as bread crumbs, cheese, vegetables, or meat.
- Grill the mushrooms. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the mushrooms with olive oil and grill for about 10 minutes per side, or until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is heated through.
- Serve the mushrooms. Garnish the mushrooms with fresh herbs, such as basil or parsley. You can also serve them with a dipping sauce, such as blue cheese dressing or marinara sauce.
Conclusion:
Grilled mushrooms stuffed with basil and blue cheese butter are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or side dish. They are perfect for a summer cookout or a special occasion dinner. With a variety of stuffing options to choose from, you can customize the mushrooms to your liking. So next time you're looking for a new way to enjoy mushrooms, give this recipe a try.
