To make grilled mushrooms with cheddar, clean the mushrooms, remove the stems if desired, and brush them lightly with oil. Grill until tender, then add grated cheddar near the end and cook just until it melts.
Large portobello mushrooms are especially handy for grilled mushrooms with cheddar because their broad caps hold the melted cheese. Cremini or button mushrooms also work well whole, particularly when threaded onto skewers or cooked in a grill basket.
Keep grilled mushrooms with cheddar from getting watery by drying the mushrooms well and leaving space between them on the grill. Crowding traps steam, so cook in batches and add the cheddar only after excess moisture has cooked off.
Add cheddar to grilled mushrooms near the end of cooking, rather than before grilling. This gives the mushrooms time to cook through while keeping the cheese from burning or dripping through the grates before it melts.
Yes, you can make grilled mushrooms with cheddar under an oven broiler. Arrange the mushrooms in a single layer, cook until tender, then top with cheddar and return them briefly until the cheese melts and bubbles.
Yes, grilled mushrooms with cheddar can be made as stuffed mushroom caps. Remove the stems, fill the caps with grated cheddar and seasonings, then grill them over moderate heat with the cheese side facing up so the filling stays in place.
No, you generally do not need to peel mushrooms for grilled mushrooms with cheddar. Wipe away dirt with a damp cloth or rinse them quickly and dry thoroughly; peeling removes edible skin and is usually unnecessary.
Black pepper, garlic, thyme, and smoked paprika all complement grilled mushrooms with cheddar. Use salt sparingly because cheddar can already taste salty, and finish the cooked mushrooms with chopped parsley or chives for freshness.
Serve grilled mushrooms with cheddar alongside a green salad, grilled vegetables, or steak for a simple meal. They also make a useful burger topping or side dish, and taste best while the melted cheese is still warm.
Refrigerate leftover grilled mushrooms with cheddar in a covered container once they have cooled, and eat them within a few days. Reheat them in an oven or skillet; microwaving can make the mushrooms softer and release more moisture.

Grilled mushrooms with cheddar is a simple dish of mushrooms cooked over a grill and finished with cheddar. It is more a flexible modern way of serving grilled vegetables than a dish with one specific regional origin. The mushrooms soften and concentrate as they cook, while the cheese melts over their warm, savoury surfaces.
Expect a juicy, tender texture balanced by cheddar’s salty, rich flavour. Serve it as a side with grilled meat, alongside a salad, or as a meat-free option for a casual meal; it also works well as a shared starter. It is relatively low in carbohydrates and provides some protein and calcium. For a lighter plate, use a modest amount of cheese and add fresh vegetables.
