To make cheese-stuffed grilled mushrooms, remove the stems, fill the caps with cheese, and grill them with the filling facing up over medium heat. Cook until the mushrooms soften and the cheese melts; avoid turning them over, which can spill the filling.
Mozzarella, cheddar, and cream cheese all work well in cheese-stuffed grilled mushrooms. Choose mozzarella for a stretchy melt, cheddar for a stronger flavor, or cream cheese for a creamy filling; combine cheeses if you want both a smooth texture and a browned top.
Large portobello mushrooms are easiest to stuff and sturdy enough for the grill. Large cremini or button mushrooms also work, but smaller caps are more likely to tip or lose their filling, so cook them in a grill basket.
Keep cheese-stuffed grilled mushrooms intact by using firm, large caps and grilling them filling-side up over indirect or medium heat. Leave the caps whole, handle them with a wide spatula, and wait until they soften before moving them.
Yes, cheese-stuffed grilled mushrooms can be baked in the oven instead of grilled. Arrange the filled caps on a baking sheet with the filling facing up and bake until tender and the cheese is melted; broil briefly at the end for a browned top.
Yes, remove the stems from cheese-stuffed grilled mushrooms to make room for the filling. Chop the stems and cook them with garlic or herbs before mixing them into the cheese, which uses the whole mushroom and keeps the filling from becoming watery.
Yes, rinse cheese-stuffed grilled mushrooms briefly if they are visibly dirty, then dry them thoroughly. Do not soak them: mushrooms absorb water, which can make them release more liquid on the grill and leave the cheese filling loose.
Yes, you can clean and fill cheese-stuffed grilled mushrooms a few hours ahead and refrigerate them covered. Grill them just before serving, rather than cooking them far in advance, so the caps do not become soggy and the cheese stays pleasantly melted.
Leftover cheese-stuffed grilled mushrooms keep in a covered container in the refrigerator for a few days. Reheat them in an oven or skillet until hot; these methods help the caps hold their shape better than prolonged microwave heating.
Serve cheese-stuffed grilled mushrooms with a crisp salad, grilled vegetables, or crusty bread. They also pair well with grilled chicken or other mains, while lemon or a fresh herb dressing cuts through the richness of the cheese.

Cheese-Stuffed Grilled Mushroom is made by filling mushroom caps with cheese and grilling them until tender and melting. It is a straightforward home-cooking and barbecue dish rather than a preparation tied to one particular region; larger mushrooms are easiest to fill, though smaller ones work well as bites.
The mushrooms turn juicy and gently earthy, while the cheese adds a creamy, savoury centre. Serve them hot as a side, a starter, or a light vegetarian meal, with a crisp salad or crusty bread. At 8.4 g of protein per 100 g, they add protein and calcium to a vegetable-led plate. For a lighter version, use a moderate amount of cheese and grill the mushrooms with little added oil.
High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
